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 statements is/are true?
1. U is sitting immediate right of R
2. U is sitting immediate left of P
3. There is only one friend between W and T
  1. 1 only
  2. 2 only
  3. 1 and 3 only
  4. 1, 2 and 3

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - 1, 2 and 3
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). U is immediately right of R (R follows U to the left), U is immediately left of P, and only Q sits between W and T. All three statements 1, 2 and 3 are true.
