Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

def remove_nums(int_list):
  #list starts with 0 index
  position = 3 - 1 
  idx = 0
  len_list = (len(int_list))
  while len_list>0:
    idx = (position+idx)%len_list
    print(int_list.pop(idx))
    len_list -= 1
nums = [10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90]
remove_nums(nums)

Sample Output:

30
60
90
40
80
50
20
