Eight Person P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W are sitting in a room in a single row with equal distances between each other, but not necessarily in the same order. All of them are facing north direction. Only one person sits between T and P. Number of persons to the left of Q is one less than to the right of Q. Two persons sit between T and S. V sits second to the right of U. T sits immediate left of Q. W is not an immediate neighbour of V

Explanation:
- Let's break it down step by step:
- T sits immediately to the left of Q.
- Only one person sits between T and P.
- Two persons sit between T and S.
- Number of persons to the left of Q is one less than to the right of Q, hence Q is third from the left.
- V sits second to the right of U.
- W is not an immediate neighbour of V.
Considering these conditions, we can deduce:
1. Q is in the third position, making T second, and both having P or S as potential neighbors.
2. With V sitting second to the right of U, U can't be near the end.
3. W can't be an immediate neighbor to V.
After mapping out possibilities:
- R will be at the extreme left position.
- S will be at the extreme right position.
Hence, R sits at the extreme end of the row. Option 2: R is the correct answer.
