There are seven colleagues – P, Q, R, S, T, U and V who get different salaries. Their salaries are 10000, 12000, 14000, 15000, 18000, 20000 and 22000 (not necessarily in the same order). V neither gets highest salary nor the lowest one. Only three people get the higher salary than S. P gets less salary than V and the difference between their salaries is Rs. 4000. T gets higher salary than U but lesser than R. U gets higher salary than Q. Q does not get a salary of Rs. 12000. Which of the following statement is true?

T gets higher salary than U but lesser than R. U gets higher salary than Q. Q does not get a salary of Rs. 12000. Which of the following statement is true? Correct Answer Q gets Rs 10000 less salary than T.
Seven Colleagues: P, Q, R, S, T, U and V.
Rank: 10000, 12000, 14000, 15000, 18000, 20000 and 22000 (not necessarily in the same order).

6) Q does not get a salary of Rs. 12000.
(Thus, case 1 gets eliminated.)
Final table is as follows:
