P, Q, R, S, T and U are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. U sits third to the left of T. R sits second to the right of Q. Q is not the immediate neighbour of T. P is not the immediate neighbour of R. Who sits third to the left of Q?
P
T
S
U
S
Fix the reference point (T) and map positions relative to it; place neighbors carefully, keeping in mind that Q is not next to T and P is not next to R.
Fix the reference point (T) and map positions relative to it; place neighbors carefully, keeping in mind that Q is not next to T and P is not next to R.
Fixing positions
Let T be at the top position (12 o'clock). U sits third to the left of T, which is at the 4 o'clock position (counting anticlockwise for 'left' in circular arrangement).
Placing Q and R
R is second to the right of Q. Since Q cannot be a neighbor of T, Q must be at 8 o'clock. Then R is at 4 o'clock, but U is already there. Wait: if positions are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (clockwise), T=1, U=4. Q cannot be 6 or 2. If Q=5, then right of Q is 4(U) and 3. So R=3. P is not next to R, so P must be 5 or 6? By elimination, the sequence clockwise is T, P, R, S, Q, U.
Final verification
With order T, P, R, S, Q, U (clockwise), third to the left of Q (moving counter-clockwise: U, S, R) is R? No, let's re-verify: Left from Q (at 5th pos) is 4, 3, 2. 2nd left is 3, 3rd left is 2. Position 2 is S. Thus, S is the answer.
A: P is the immediate neighbour of T and R, not 3rd left of Q. B: T is the 4th left of Q, not 3rd. D: U is the immediate left of Q.
C is correct because in the circular arrangement T-P-R-S-Q-U, the person sitting third to the left of Q is S.
In circular seating problems, always draw the table and number positions 1-6 to avoid confusion with left/right orientations.
