X sits to the immediate left of P who sits second to the left of B. Both X and W sit adjacent to each other. The number of persons sits between P and Z is one less than the number of persons sits between Z and X when counted from the right of both P and Z respectively. At least one person sits between C and X when counted from the right of C.

    Solution

    STEP I: B sits third to the left of D who sits an immediate neighbour of Z. Three persons sit between W and Z who sits second to the left of C. As per these statements, we can say that there are three possible cases and the arrangement will look like this: STEP II: X sits to the immediate left of P who sits second to the left of B. Both X and W sit adjacent to each other. The number of persons sits between P and Z is one less than the number of persons sits between Z and X when counted from the right of both P and Z respectively. At least one person sits between C and X when counted from the right of C. As per these statements, CASE I and CASE III get eliminated and we continue with CASE II and the final arrangement will look like this:
