Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Step-by-step reasoning: construct a seating that satisfies all given conditions.

  • Initial seating (clockwise): P, V, T, Q, R, S

  • Why this seating fits the clues: P is immediately to the left of V (so V is to the right of P). Counting four seats to the right of P places R fourth to P's right. The remaining three (Q, S, T) are arranged so that the person between Q and S is not T (here the person between Q and S is R), satisfying the statement about T.

  • After interchanging P and R, the seating (clockwise) becomes: R, V, T, Q, P, S

  • In this final arrangement V and T are adjacent, so they sit together.

Final answer: VT sit together.
