Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below:

(i) P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are sitting around a circle and are facing the center (not necessarily in the same order).

(ii) V is second to the left of R, who is to the immediate left of U.

(iii) P is the third to the left of T.

(iv) Q is between S and T.

Which of the following is the position of U?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Since all face the centre, moving to the left means moving clockwise. Fix U, then R clockwise next to U, and V two places clockwise from R. Trying P three places clockwise from T, the only fit that also keeps Q adjacent to both S and T gives the clockwise order U, R, P, V, S, Q, T. Counting anticlockwise from S gives V, P, R, U, so U is fourth to the right of S.
