Explanation:
- The seating arrangement is based on the constraints provided.
- "Only two people sit to the right of U." suggests U is in the 5th position from the left.
- "Only two people sit to the left of R." implies R is in the 3rd position from the left.
- To satisfy "Only two people sit between U and Q," Q must be in the 2nd position from the left.
- "Only three people sit between R and V" places V in the 7th position from the left.
- T is not an immediate neighbour of U, therefore, T must sit somewhere away from U.
- Since "S sits to the right of U," S is in the 6th position from the left.
- With these constraints, P takes the 1st position.
The seating is: P, Q, R, T, U, S, V.
- Q sits to the immediate right of U.
