Question

    Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below. Eight persons viz. Q, R, S, T, U, V, W and X are sitting around a circular table facing the centre but not necessarily in the same order. Both T and W are immediate neighbors. U sits third to the right of T and second to the left of S. The number of persons sitting between S and W is the same as the number of persons sitting between U and Q. One person sits between X and V, who sits to the immediate left of Q.

    If all the persons are made to sit in alphabetical order in a clockwise direction with respect to Q, then how many persons remain unchanged in their position (excluding Q)?

    A One Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Two Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Three Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D More than three Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Both T and W are immediate neighbors. U sits third to the right of T and second to the left of S. The number of persons sitting between S and W is the same as the number of persons sitting between U and Q. One person sits between X and V, who sits to the immediate left of Q. Hence, case 1 gets eliminated.
