    Solution

    We have, W attends the marriage function on an even numbered date. V attends immediately after W. Only two persons attend between V and T, who attends after June. From the above conditions, there are two possibilities. Again we have, Both U and Q attend in the same month. Only three persons attend between Q and P. As many persons attend before S as after P. R does not attend the marriage in May. From the above conditions, Case 1 gets eliminated. Hence, Case 2 shows the final arrangement.
