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

Select the correct answer using the code given below:
There are seven persons up on a ladder, A, B, C, D, E, F and G (not in that order). A is further up than E but is lower than C. B is in the middle. G is between A and B. E is between B and F. If F is between E and D, the person on the bottom step of the ladder will be
Consider that:
1. A is taller than B.
2. C is taller than A.
3. D is taller than C.
4. E is the tallest of all.
If they are made to sit in the above order of their height, who will occupy the mid position?
Four children are sitting in a row. A is occupying the seat next to B but not next to C. If C is not sitting next to D, who is/are occupying seat/seats adjacent to D?
A question paper must have a question on one of the eight poets: A, B, C, D, E, F, G or H The first four belong to the medieval period while the rest are considered modern poets Generally, modern poets figure in the question paper in alternate years. Generally those who like H like G also; and those who like F like E also. The paper-setter does not like to ask about F as he has written a book on F, but he likes F. Last year, the paper contained a question on A.
On the basis of the information given, this year's paper is most likely to contain a question on
