Question

Five students - P, Q, R, S, and T are sitting in a circle facing the center. P is to the immediate right of Q. R is between P and S.
Who is sitting to the immediate left of T?

The correct answer is

S

To solve the problem of determining who is sitting to the immediate left of T, we need to logically arrange the five students - P, Q, R, S, and T - in a circle according to the given conditions. Let's work step by step:

  1. The problem states that P is to the immediate right of Q. In a circular arrangement facing the center, if we place Q, then P will be the next student in a clockwise direction from Q.
  2. Next, the problem specifies R is between P and S. So, if you follow clockwise direction, after P there should be R, and following R, there will be S.
  3. At this point, we have the partial arrangement: Q - P - R - S.
  4. Now, we are left with student T. Since there are five seats and four are already occupied, T must sit in the remaining spot, which is between S and Q.

The final arrangement in a clockwise order is: Q - P - R - S - T.

Finally, we need to find out who is sitting to the immediate left of T. In the clockwise arrangement, the immediate left of T is the position before T, which is held by S.

Thus, the student sitting to the immediate left of T is S.
