Seven friends — P, Q, R, S, T, U and V — sit in a straight row, all facing north. R sits third from the right end. Two persons sit between R and P. Q sits at one of the two extreme ends. T sits second to the right of P. S is an immediate neighbour of R. U sits exactly between P and T. Q sits third to the right of T. Who sits at the extreme left end of the row?

Question

Accepted Answer

V. R is 3rd from the right = position 5. Two persons between R and P puts P at position 2. T is 2nd to the right of P = position 4; U is exactly between P(2) and T(4) = position 3. S neighbours R = position 6. Q is 3rd to the right of T(4) = position 7, leaving V at position 1. Final row (left to right): V, P, U, T, R, S, Q. So the extreme left is V.
