More than three
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- Observation: U sits fifth from the left end of the row, which helps establish a base point.
- From U's position, R sits third to the left. Therefore, there are two people between R and U.
- T is an immediate neighbor of R, meaning T can only be on the right side of R. Therefore the sequence R-T is formed.
- Only three persons sit between W and T, with six persons to the right of W.
- P sits third to the right of S, establishing their relative positions.
- Only three persons sit between P and Q, which clarifies Q's position.
- M sits immediately to the left of O and there are three people between M and H.
- O can't be to the left of P.
- Now, the arrangement leaves exactly three people between U and S.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Option:4, Three
