Eight people – P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre at equal distances. T is sitting third to the left of P who is sitting second to the left of Q. R and U are the immediate neighbours. Neither T nor Q is an immediate neighbour of S. W is sitting third to the left of U. What is the position of R with respect to W?

The position of R with respect to W:

1) Second to the left of W → false.

2) Second to the right of W → true.

3) Third to the right of W → false.

4) Third to the left of W → false.

Hence, R is sitting second to the right of W.
