Inferences:
From above statements,
Let the position of the person be numbered as 1 to till last in clockwise direction.

Inferences:
From above statements,
Thakur can’t sit at 4 (adjacent to Samuel)
Therefore, Thakur sits third to the right of Prince as shown,
Note: Thakur position is known only based on other statements.

 
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.

From above statements,
If the one, who owns Renault, sits at 2, then there are 3 persons sitting between the one, who owns Renault and the one, who owns Honda, when counted from the right of the one, who owns Honda, which is not possible.
Therefore Samuel owns Renault.
All the given conditions get satisfied and we get the completed seating,
