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.
(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.
What is the position of T with respect to W?
- Immediate left
- Immediate right
- Third to the left
- Second to the left
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Second to the left
Arrangement (facing centre, left = one direction): fix V; R is 3rd left of V; P sits next to V with U beyond P; S is 3rd left of W (W is 3rd right of S); Q is between W and T. Testing both sides for P, only one case fits, giving clockwise-left order V, P, U, R, W, Q, T, S (each next one is to the left of the previous). From W, the next to the left is Q and then T, so T is second to the left of W.
