To solve the problem of finding out who is the immediate neighbour of P and Q, we need to arrange the six students (P, Q, R, S, T, and U) around a circular table based on the given conditions:
- According to the question, P is sitting second to the right of Q.
- Let's fix Q in a position. Then P will be placed in the second position to the right of Q.
- S is an immediate neighbour of both Q and R.
- By this condition, S can sit next to Q and then R will be the other neighbour of S.
- U is sitting third to the left of R. So, U will also need to be placed accordingly after placing R.
- T is an immediate neighbour of both P and R.
Let's establish these positions step-by-step:
- Place Q.
- P is second to the right of Q, so place P accordingly.
- As S is a neighbour of Q, place S next to Q.
- Consequently, place R as S’s other neighbour.
- Position U third to the left of R.
- With these placements done, T, who is a neighbour of both P and R, finds its spot adjacent to them.
With this configuration, the arrangement looks like this:
| Circular Order | Seats |
|---|---|
| Q | Initial Point |
| P | Second to the right of Q |
| T | Neighbour of P |
| R | To the right of T |
| S | Neighbour between Q and R |
| U | Third to the left of R |
From this configuration, it is clear that U is the immediate neighbour of both P and Q. Therefore, the correct answer is:
- U
Important Questions from Seating arrangement
