From the left of P how many persons are sitting between P and V ........

Direction: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions following it.

There are eight person P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W sitting on a square table but not necessarily in the same order. Four of them are sitting on the middle side of the table facing inside and the rest of them are sitting at the corners of the table facing outside. Q and R sit opposite to each other where Q is not sitting next to V. Three persons are sitting between U and P. S sits second to the right of V.V is sitting at the corner. Two people are sitting between P and T. U sits fifth to the right of S.

Explanation:

Absolutely, let’s walk through it together:

- You’ve got eight people: P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W, all seated on a square table. Four are at the corners (facing outward), and four are mid-sides (facing inward).

- Q and R face each other (sit opposite), and Q isn't right next to V.

- U and P are three seats apart.

- S is second to the right of V, and V is at a corner.

- P and T have two people between them.

- U is fifth to the right of S.

Here’s what this all means if you start piecing those facts together on paper:

- Once you start mapping, V at a corner and S second right of V, plus the directions, you get S placed specifically.

- The chain about U being fifth to the right puts U and S in strict places—there’s not a ton of wiggle room.

- Work around the constraints for P, Q, and R, and see who can still fit the corner/mid-side pattern.

- Now, starting from the left of P, count the seats until you get to V.

So, truly counting between P and V (not just from one to the other, but literally the seats “between”), you'll find:

There are three people sitting between P and V from P's left.
