Q sits second to the right of P. R sits third to the left of W. R faces inside. T sits third to the left of U. V sits second to the left of U. R is not an immediate neighbor of P.

Q. Who among the following faces Q?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Seating Arrangements- 3 - Question 1

From the final arrangement, we get T faces Q.
