Understanding the Seating Arrangement
To solve the problem, we first need to visualize the seating arrangement based on the given clues:
1. R is next to the left of U: This means U is to the right of R.
2. V is second to the left of R: If R is at position X, V will be at position X-2.
3. P is sitting third to the left of T: This indicates T will be at position X+3 if P is at position X.
4. Q is between S and T: Q will be adjacent to both S and T.
Arranging the People
Let’s start placing the individuals around the table:
- Assume U is at the top (12 o'clock position).
- Thus, R will be at 11 o'clock position (next to the left of U).
- V is then at 9 o'clock position (second to the left of R).
Now we have:
- U at 12
- R at 11
- V at 9
Next, we need to place P, T, S, and Q:
- If P sits third to the left of T, let’s place T at 6 o’clock; therefore, P will be at 3 o'clock.
- Q must sit between S and T. Since T is at 6 o'clock, Q can be at 5 o'clock and S at 7 o'clock.
The final arrangement looks like this:
- 12: U
- 11: R
- 10: (empty)
- 9: V
- 8: (empty)
- 7: S
- 6: T
- 5: Q
- 4: (empty)
- 3: P
Evaluating the Statements
Now, we evaluate the given options:
- Option A: R is fourth to the right of T. (False, R is actually to T's left.)
- Option B: S is second to the left of T. (False, S is actually to T's left.)
- Option C: P is to the immediate right of V. (True, P is at 3, V is at 9, thus they are adjacent in the clockwise direction.)
- Option D: Q is second to the right of V. (False, Q is at 5 and V at 9, which is not the second right.)
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is option C: P is to the immediate right of V.
