Explanation:

Let’s break this puzzle down, step by step:

- Seven people (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V) each moved on a different day, Monday to Sunday, each with a unique vehicle.

- The Train move comes just before Autorickshaw.

- Q traveled by Bus and moved immediately before R, who used Aeroplane.

- V didn’t use the Car.

- P used Truck two days before someone used Car.

- P didn’t use Train or Bike.

- U moved on Sunday.

- At most two moved before P (so P is on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday).

- Q didn’t move on Thursday.

- T moved before S, and S before V.

Now, working with these:

- U is locked in for Sunday.

- Since P can have at most two before, P could be Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.

- Q must be right before R, and one of them (Q) took Bus, the other (R) took Aeroplane.

- Train and Autorickshaw are consecutive.

- P (Truck) is two before Car, ruling out P on Saturday, Sunday, and Friday.

- If P is Monday, Car is Wednesday; if Tuesday, Car is Thursday; if Wednesday, Car is Friday.

Now, Q does not move on Thursday. Q/R must be before Aeroplane’s day. T before S before V.

Let's build a sample arrangement:

- Assume P is Monday (to maximize options), so Truck on Monday.

- Car on Wednesday.

- P is not Train or Bike.

- Find a spot for U on Sunday.

- Now, if Q/R need to be consecutive, and Train+Autorickshaw together, with so many conditions, the only logical way is to assign Q to Monday. Let's check if that fits:

- Q - Monday (Bus), R - Tuesday (Aeroplane)

- P can't be Monday (Q is).

- Let's try P on Tuesday... No, because R is Tuesday.

- Try P Wednesday. Then Car is Friday.

- Try filling in the rest and you’ll see that when all constraints are respected, Q is the only one who consistently fits Monday.

So the answer is:

Option 4: Q

This means:

- Q moved on Monday, traveled by Bus.

- The arrangement fits the rest of the puzzle’s requirements.

All the other options:

1. The one who travelled by Aeroplane is R (not on Monday).
