Download Solution PDFPersons - P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W.
1) Q sits second to the left of R. Thus. Two cases can be formed as R’s direction is unknown.
2) Only 3 people sit between R and S.
3) T is not an immediate neighbour of Q and R.
4) T is an immediate neighbour of the one who is second to the left of S.
Thus, in Case I, S must face outside and T would be immediate left of S. And in Case II, S must face inside and T would be immediate left of S.
5) P and U are immediate neighbours of each other.
6) V faces inside.
7) W sits second to the left of V.
8) P sits opposite to W. Thus, Case I will get rejected. Also, Only three people were facing inwards so rest people will face outwards.
Thus, Q sits immediate left of the person who sits second to the left of W.
