P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. T is not an immediate neighbour of P. Only 3 people sit between P and R when counted from the right of P. V sits immediately to the left of S. Q sits 2nd to the left of R. Who sits 2nd to the left of T?
P
S
V
U
U
Start by placing the most constrained person (P). Place R relative to P (3 people between them), then use the 'immediate' and 'second to the left' conditions to lock the remaining positions.
Start by placing the most constrained person (P). Place R relative to P (3 people between them), then use the 'immediate' and 'second to the left' conditions to lock the remaining positions.
Establish Reference Points
Place P at 12 o'clock. Since 3 people sit between P and R counting from the right of P, R must be at the 4th position clockwise (at roughly 6 o'clock).
Place S, V, and Q
V sits immediately to the left of S. Q sits 2nd to the left of R. Given the 7-seat circular arrangement, we determine positions by filling the remaining slots: P, T, U, R, Q, S, V in clockwise order.
Solve for T
T is not a neighbor of P, and after placing P, R, Q, S, V, the remaining spots are filled by U and T. The seating sequence satisfies all conditions, placing P 2nd to the left of T.
A: U is to the right of T; B: V is opposite P; C: S is to the right of Q; D is correct because P is 2nd to the left of T.
D is correct because based on the circular arrangement of 7 people (P, T, U, R, Q, S, V in clockwise order), the position 2nd to the left of T is P.
In circular puzzles with an odd number of people, always draw all seats first to avoid confusion; counting 'left' and 'right' from the center is easier if you visualize yourself sitting in each seat.
