Sir,

It is also possible to assign the seats in another manner.

That gives a small change and only one answer will be changed (question no:1) I got answer 'P', all other answers are similar.

My arrangement (towards right) is P, R, T, Q, W, S, U, V.

Yes...question is without complete statements....becoc try this clockwise..p-r-t-v-u-q-s-w....this sitting arrangement is also correct according to the statements given in the question while your answr has sum other arrangements.

Please don't get confuse friends. You have to choose the answer from the options only. Which is RV, why making complected the question though it is not that much. According to the question the answer is correct.

There is no need for arrangement in the first option itself it has given T is between are and V and the question is not neighbours So simply if the T is between are and V then how can be they are neighbours.

If are getting two options as the answer, that means either it has another arrangement or the question is wrong.

So, check for other possible arrangements until you get only one option as an answer.

The given 4th data states that Q is not between U and S but did not state U and S may be neighbors. The fourth data could be still clearer. Otherwise, we could end up with different answers.

Two seating arrangements are possible here: (in anti-clockwise direction).

1. T-R-P-W-S-Q-U-V.

2. T-R-P-Q-W-S-U-V.

According to the first arrangement some answers will be different.

The first condition directly says the answer.

P is second to the right of T who is the neighbour of R and V. I.e R P V or V P R. SO RV is not neighbours. So option A is right answer.

There is another arrangement possible.

You have given it as qprtvusw.

The other possibility is swprtvuq.

As per the other possibility the answer to the first question is wrong.
