Directions (16-20): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
Ten persons are sitting in two parallel rows containing five persons each in such a way that there is an equal distance between adjacent persons. In the first row, A, B, C, D and E are seated and all of them are facing south. In the 2nd row, P, Q, R, S and T are seated and all of them are facing north. Therefore, in the given seating arrangement, each member seated in a row faces another member of the other row. S sits third to the left of P. A faces an immediate neighbor of S. C sits second to the right of A. Only one person sits between B and D. Q and T are immediate neighbours. T does not face A and B.
