Explanation:
- Eight people are seated around a square table, with four at the corners facing the center and four at the middle of the sides facing outward.
- U sits second to the left of W.
- S is second to the right of P.
- T, who faces outside, is third to the right of R.
- R is next to both V and U.
- U is an immediate neighbor of Q.
- Two people sit between U and P.
Let's arrange:
- The four corner seats face inward, and middle seats face outward.
- R is surrounded by V and U, and T sits three seats to the right of R. V and U set R between them, placing U at a corner.
- With U at the corner and Q next to U, W becomes a middle sitter.
- This setup positions P and S relative to the others, determining that T is opposite U.
Thus, T is sitting exactly opposite to U.
