Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Neighbour of V and R
Reasoning:
Place S at any seat. For people facing the center, a person’s left is the next seat in the clockwise direction.
V is second to the left of S, so V is two seats clockwise from S.
V is a neighbour of T and U, so T and U occupy the seats adjacent to V.
S is not a neighbour of R or T, so S’s neighbours must be Q and U.
P is neighbour of Q and R, so P sits between R and Q.
One seating that satisfies all constraints (clockwise) is: R, P, Q, S, U, V, T.
After T and S interchange positions the seating becomes (clockwise): R, P, Q, T, U, V, S.
In this final arrangement the neighbours of S are V and R.
Therefore S will be the neighbour of V and R.
