Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
A, N, M, R, J, V, S and D are eight friends sitting around a circular table. Two of them are facing away from the centre. All of them like watches of different brands, viz. Maxima, Puma, HMT, Titan, Fastrack, Rado, Quartz and Omega, but not necessarily in the same order.
R and M are sitting third and second to the left of A respectively. R and S are neighbors of N, who likes Fastrack. The one who likes Titan sits on the immediate right of N. S is sitting third to the right of A and likes Maxima. D is third to the right of J and likes Quartz. A and D are not the neighbor of that person who likes Rado. V does not like HMT and Titan. The person who likes Omega is sitting opposite to J.
How many person(s) sit between the person who likes Maxima and the one who likes HMT (when counting in clockwise direction with respect to the person who likes HMT)?
