Answer 1

Answer:

C. Fourth to the right

Solution:

People: P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W.

1) P sits second to the left of R, who sits in the middle of one of the sides of the table.

2) Q, who doesn’t sit at any corner of the table sits third to the left of V.

3) Only three people sit between V and W.

5) Q is not immediate neighbour of T.

Hence, U is sitting fourth to the right of T.
