Explanation:

Let’s break this down step by step:

- X is second from the right end. So, there’s one seat to X’s right.

- Five people between X and P. So, X _ _ _ _ _ P.

- C sits immediately right of P. So, P C.

- E is third to the right of C (so, C _ _ E).

- Seven people are to the left of E. That means E is 8th from the left.

- A is at one of the extreme ends, but cannot be immediately right of X.

- T sits eighth to the right of A and immediately left of X. So the order is A … 7 seats … T X.

- Y is second to the right of T, meaning T _ Y.

- Four people are between Y and R.

If you place A at the leftmost seat (position 1), T will be at position 9 (because T is 8th to the right). Then X is immediately right of T, so X is position 10.

Since X is second from right, that means only one person is to his right (position 11).

So, there are 11 seats in the row. Everything clicks into place.

- Option 2, 11, is the right answer.
