Seven friends — P, Q, R, S, T, U and V — sit in a straight row, all facing north. Only two persons sit to the right of V. P sits third to the left of V. Q sits second to the right of P. R sits at the extreme left end. S sits immediately to the left of U. T sits between P and Q. Who sits at the extreme right end of the row?

Question

Accepted Answer

U. Only two sit to the right of V, so V is at seat 5. P is third to the left of V, so P is at seat 2. Q is second to the right of P, so Q is at seat 4. R is at the extreme left (seat 1). S is immediately left of U, so S and U fill seats 6 and 7 respectively; T takes seat 3 (between P and Q). Order: R, P, T, Q, V, S, U. The extreme right end (seat 7) is U.
