P, Q, R, S, T and U are seated around a circular table.

R is seated two places to the right of Q.

P is seated three places to the left of R.

S is seated opposite U.

According to the above information, there are two possibilities:

P is immediately right of Q.

Case 2:

The arrangement is as shown below.

[ alt="25 4" src="//storage.googleapis.com/tb-img/production/19/06/25_4.PNG" style="width: 192px; height: 214px;">

T is immediately to the left of P.

So, T is immediately to the left of P or P is immediately to the right of Q.
