Explanation:

Let’s break down the seating:

- There are 2 rows: Row 1 (A, B, C, D, E facing south) and Row 2 (P, Q, R, S, T facing north).

- Q is third to the right of P, and either P or Q is at an end. This means:

- If P is leftmost, Q is fourth (P, _, _, Q, _)

- If Q is leftmost, P is second right (unlikely as it says P or Q at end and Q is third to right of P).

- A sits immediate left of the person facing P. (So, A is next to someone facing P.)

- C is third to the right of B (B at end), so Row 1: [B, _, _, C, _]

- R is immediate left of S

- Neither A nor B is neighbour of E.

Group analysis:

- Four of the five (B, S, T, E, Q) belong to a group.

Let’s see what links:

- B and E are in Row 1, S, T, Q are in Row 2.

- All except S (B, T, E, Q) have something unique:

- B and E are not neighbours of E, but B actually cannot be neighbour of himself.

- S is paired with R by "immediate left".

- T sits with S, Q, or R in Row 2.

Analyzing again:

- B, T, E, Q: B and E together (Row 1), T and Q (Row 2).

- S is paired with R.

- Odd one: S (paired with R) – others are not immediately left or right of anyone as unique clue.

- Your Answer: 2 - S

Correct Answer:

2, S

- S is the only one directly linked by their position relative to another (immediate left of S is R).

- Others (B, T, E, Q) do not have this specific left-right direct association in clues.
