Eight friends P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W sit in a row facing north (positions numbered 1 to 8 from left to right). T sits at the extreme left end and R sits at the extreme right end. Exactly two persons sit between R and S. P sits immediately to the left of S. Q sits second to the right of T. V sits immediately to the left of R. U is not adjacent to Q. Who sits third from the left end?

Question

Accepted Answer

Q. T is at position 1 and R at 8. Two persons between S and R put S at 5, so P (immediately left of S) is at 4. Q second to the right of T is at 3. V immediately left of R is at 7. U cannot be adjacent to Q (position 3), so U takes 6 and W takes 2. Order: T, W, Q, P, S, U, V, R. Position 3 is Q.
