The correct answer is

Two

Let's solve this seating arrangement puzzle step-by-step:

  1. G is second to the left of E: This means we can represent this as G _ E (where _ represents one person).
  2. B is third to the right of A: This gives us A _ _ _ B.
  3. C is the immediate neighbour of both E and B: This implies the sequence E C B.
  4. D is sitting to the immediate left of G: This gives us D G.

Combining these clues, we can start arranging the individuals around the circular table. Considering the circular arrangement and the given constraints, a possible arrangement is: A F D G E C B. Another possible arrangement is the clockwise reversal of this: B C E G D F A. Let's analyze the first arrangement.

In the arrangement A F D G E C B, if we start from E and count to the right, the people sitting between E and F are C and B. Therefore, there are two people between E and F when counted from the right of E.

The second arrangement provides the same result.
