Question

P, Q, R, S, T and U are sitting around a circular table facing the centre (but not necessarily in the same order). P is second to the left of T. Q is an immediate neighbour of both U and P. S and P are immediate neighbours. Who among the following has both T and U as his immediate neighbours?

• A. S
• B. R
• C. Q
• D. P

Answer 1

Answer:

B. R

Let’s arrange them step by step.

• P is second to the left of T

• Q is an immediate neighbour of both U and P
  ⇒ Q sits between U and P.

• S and P are immediate neighbours

Arrange T first.

If P is second to the left of T:

T \quad _ \quad P
Now Q must be adjacent to P and U, so place:

$U - Q - P$

Since S is also adjacent to P, S must be on the other side of P.

The arrangement becomes:

$T ;-; R ;-; U ;-; Q ;-; P ;-; S$

Now check who has T and U as immediate neighbours.

R sits between T and U.

Final Answer: R
