Explanation:

Let’s break this down step by step:

- Eight people, eight months: Each person gets a unique month—January, March, April, May, July, August, September, October.

- P attends a 30-day month: Only choices are April, June, September, November (but only April & September fit our list).

- "There are as many before P as after Q": This means P and Q are at equally opposite ends—if P is 3rd, Q is 5th, etc.

- Three people between T and P: So, T and P sit four apart. (If P 1st, T 5th; or vice versa.)

- W before V, after R: Their order is R ? W ? V.

- U before S, after Q: So, Q ? U ? S.

- S before V, after W, and W is not May: So, W ? S ? V.

- Question: "There are as many before W as after ____?" So, you look for a person mirroring W’s position from opposite end.

Let's slot in people:

1. R

2. W (not May)

3. S

4. V

From above, W is 2nd, so after W are S, V, and possibly more. If W is 2nd, that means 1 person before and 6 after, which doesn't balance with anyone in this exact list.

Now, look at the answer options:

1. P

2. Q

3. V

4. R

5. None of these

Does any person have the same number after them as W has before her (i.e., 1 person after)? Not matching anyone.

So, the correct answer is: Option 5 – None of these
