Question and options

Direction: Study the information carefully and answer the question. P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W are eight friends. They are sitting around a round table and having coffee.
(i) P is sitting between U and V.
(ii) Q is sitting between W and T.
(iii) R is sitting to the third left of V.
(iv) W is sitting to the third right of S.
Which of the following is false?
  1. There are two friends between P and Q
  2. There is no one between W and Q
  3. P is immediate left of V
  4. S is to the second left of Q

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - There are two friends between P and Q
Arrangement (facing centre): going round to the left from V the order is V, P, U, R, W, Q, T, S (placing P on the other side of V violates condition (ii)). W and Q are adjacent, so "no one between W and Q" is true. P is immediately to the left of V, true. To the left of Q come T then S, so S is second to the left of Q, true. Three friends sit between P and Q on either side (U, R, W or V, S, T), so "there are two friends between P and Q" is the false statement.
