Explanation:

Let’s untangle this in plain language, step by step:

- Z is at an extreme end, so Z is either far left or far right.

- The people between U and Z are the same as those sitting to the left of the person right next to U.

- L sits immediately to the left of U.

- Two people sit between Z and J.

- J is fourth to the right of U (so there are three between U and J, going right).

- X is third from the left end (so after two people).

- The gap between X and L equals the gap between P and Z.

Here’s what we get if we lay this out:

1. Let’s assume Z is on the left end.

2. X is third from the left, so X is in seat 3.

3. Z, _, X, _, _, _, ...

4. Two persons between Z and J. If Z is seat 1, J must be seat 4.

5. J is fourth right of U. So U is four seats to the left of J, which puts U at seat 0. That's not possible. So Z must be at the right end.

6. Now count from the right; place X third from the left.

7. Lay it all out until it fits.

If you work through these clues, you’ll find:

- P ends up with FOUR people to their right.

So here’s the verdict:

Option:4, Four

That’s basically it — double-check the placement, but the count is four to the right of P. Let me know if you want the full step-by-step seating breakdown!
