Since, K sits immediate left to M. Therefore, statement first is incorrect.

E sits second to the right of L. Therefore, statement second is incorrect.

Only two persons sit between B and K when counted in the anticlockwise direction to B i.e. to the right of B. Therefore, statement third is correct.

E sits immediate left to G and O sits third to the left or fourth to the right of E. Therefore, statement fourth is incorrect.

Hence, the correct statement is Only two persons sit between B and K when counted in the anticlockwise direction to B.
