Option 2 : Q and R
Employee: P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W
Time slots: 1.00 am to 1.30 pm and from 1.30 pm to 2.00 pm
1) 'P' and 'S' will eat together. 'W' is not in that scheduled time (slot).
| Time Slot | Employee (Case - 1) | Employee (Case - 2) |
| 1.00 am to 1.30 pm | P, S | W |
| 1.30 pm to 2.00 pm | W | P, S |
2) 'Q' and 'R' cannot have lunch at the same time as 'S'.
| Time Slot | Employee (Case - 1) | Employee (Case - 2) |
| 1.00 am to 1.30 pm | P, S | W, Q, R |
| 1.30 pm to 2.00 pm | W, Q, R | P, S |
3) 'U' cannot have lunch with 'V' but with 'P' and 'T'.
| Time Slot | Employee (Case - 1) | Employee (Case - 2) |
| 1.00 am to 1.30 pm | P, S, U, T | W, Q, R, V |
| 1.30 pm to 2.00 pm | W, Q, R, V | P, S, U, T |
If V and W are having lunch at the scheduled time (slot) of 1.30 pm then Case - 1 is eliminated.
| Time Slot | Employee (Case - 2) |
| 1.00 am to 1.30 pm | W, Q, R, V |
| 1.30 pm to 2.00 pm | P, S, U, T |
Other people at 1.00 am to 1.30 pm time slot are Q and R.
Hence, "Q and R" is the correct answer.
