As many people are sitting between Q and V sitting between Q and ........

Logical Reasoning(IBPS CL) Sitting Arrangement

Directions:- Read the following comprehension answer the following questions carefully.

Eight people P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W are sitting on a circular table facing inside. R is sitting second to the right of T. Only two people are sitting between R and Q. S is sitting second to the left of Q. Only three people are sitting between S and V. V is sitting second to the left of U. One person is sitting between T and W. P is not a neighbour of Q

Explanation:

Alright, let’s break this puzzle down:

- Eight people around a circle, all facing inside.

- R is second to the right of T.

- So, if T is at any seat, T ? (right) _ ? (right) R.

- Two people between R and Q.

- That means counting clockwise, R ? _ ? _ ? Q.

- S is second to the left of Q.

- So, Q ? (left) _ ? S, or S is two seats left of Q.

- Three between S and V.

- Clockwise: S ? _ ? _ ? _ ? V.

- V is second to the left of U.

- U ? (left) _ ? V.

- One person between T and W (so T _ W or W _ T).

- P is not next to Q.

Now, the core question is:

As many people are there between Q and V as between Q and ___?

Let’s lay out the placements step by step (not full drawing, but logical deductions):

- Place T. R is second right to T.

- R ? (count 2) ? Q.

- S is second left of Q (so S is right before Q if you go counterclockwise).

- S and V have three people between them.

- V is second left of U.

What this really means is you should count how many seats from Q to V, and see which option creates the same gap.

If you try the setups, what comes out is:

- S and V are separated by three people.

- V and U have a defined relationship.

- The real clincher: matching gaps between Q and V & Q and “which person?” in the options.

Test each option:

1. W: Not matching the gap.

2. U: Not quite right

3. S: Yep, there’s three between Q and V, and three between Q and S.

So, your answer is dead-on for the logic.

The correct answer is Option 3, S.

Each statement connects, and by process of elimination and mapping, it’s S that matches the condition asked. The others don’t fit the gap size, so they’re out.
