Most Upvoted Answer
P, Q, R, S, T, V, W and X are captains of eight different cricket team...
Analysis:

Given Information:
- P is third to the left of the Sri Lankan captain.
- Only two people between T and W.
- Captain of South Africa is second to the right of S.
- Australian captain is third to the left of V.
- S is one seat away from the Indian captain.
- Pakistan and New Zealand captains are neighbors.
- Q is one seat away from the English captain.
- W and Q are not neighbors.

Explanation:
- From point 4, we know that the Australian captain is third to the left of V. Since there are only 8 people, V must be sitting to the right of Australia. This means that V cannot be to the immediate right of Australia or to the immediate left of Australia.
- From point 2, T and W are not next to each other. If T is next to V, W must be next to R. If W is next to V, T must be next to R. So, V cannot be the Australian captain, and R cannot be the Australian captain either.
- From point 8, the English captain is next to X. Since V is not the Australian captain, the English captain must be sitting next to the Australian captain. Therefore, the Australian captain must be sitting next to the English captain.
- Hence, statement c) The captains of Australia and England are immediate neighbors of each other is true.
