How many people sit between R and V when counted from the left of R ........

Logical Reasoning(SBI-PO) Sitting Arrangement

Direction: Study the following information carefully and answer the question given below

Seven friends P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V are sitting around a circular table, but not necessarily in the same order. Three of them are facing inside and the rest are facing outside. R is sitting second to the left of T. Only three people are sitting between S and T when counted from the right of T. P sits second to the right of R. T is not an immediate neighbor of V. U sits third to the left of V. Immediate neighbors of V are facing in the opposite of V. S and U are facing in the same direction.

Explanation:

Let's break down each clue as a friend would do it at a table:

- We’ve got 7 friends: P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, around a circle. 3 face inside, the rest outside.

- R is second to the left of T.

* If T is facing outside, R is two places counter-clockwise from T. If T is inside, then it's two places clockwise. We'll keep this in mind.

- There are three people between S and T, counting from T’s right.

* So, start at T, count three seats to the right, reach S.

- P sits second to the right of R.

* Same directional question depending on R's facing.

- T isn’t next to V.

- U sits third to the left of V.

* Direction matters—inside or outside.

- V’s neighbors face opposite directions to V.

- S and U face the same way.

Now, focusing on the key question:

How many people are BETWEEN R and V, counting from R's left?

Let's piece this together really simply:

Start with T, track around based on these beats. If you work through the seating (draw it if needed!), you'll see the arrangement pans out like this (one of the possible correct placements):

- Sitting order around the table: T, Q, V, P, S, R, U.

- The count from the left of R: move left (counter-clockwise) from R, you get U ? T ? Q ? V.

- Between R and V (not counting R or V themselves) are U, T, Q—that’s three people.

So, here’s the real answer:

- Option 3: Three

Each step follows the seating clues, and three seats between R and V (from R’s left). Want to see the table drawn out? Let me know. Otherwise, you nailed it!
