Inferences:
From above statements,
Thakur can’t sit at 4 (adjacent to Samuel)
Therefore, Thakur sits third to the right of Prince as shown,

References:
Qasim is sitting second to the right of Thakur.
Number of persons sitting between Qasim and Prince, when counted from right of Prince is four times as the number of persons sitting between Samuel and Qasim, when counted from left of Samuel.
 
Inferences:
From above statements,
Qasim is sitting second to the right of Thakur.
Given, Number of persons sitting between Qasim and Prince, when counted from right of Prince = 4 × number of persons sitting between Samuel and Qasim, when counted from left of Samuel
As per above seating, number of persons sitting between Qasim and Prince, when counted from right of Prince is 4
4 = 4 × number of persons sitting between Samuel and Qasim, when counted from left of Samuel
Therefore number of person sitting between Samuel and Qasim, when counted from left of Samuel, is 1.
Thus we can conclude that there are 11 persons sitting in the circle and Qasim and Thakur sit at 7 and 9 respectively as shown,
 
 
References:
The one, who sits immediate left of Samuel, owns Honda.
The one, who owns Ford, is sitting third to the left of Qasim.
