@Aneesh.
The best way is to choose the alphabet that occurs most frequently with other alphabets and arrange it accordingly.
Rest will automatically be arranged.

@Pinky Dubey.
If you change the position of P then also the order will be the same because a hexagon has 6 apex.

S and T both options are right. It can also be done in two ways and both are correct. If you start making the arrangement from last you will find arrangement as SRTUQP and if you start arrangement from first then the arrangement is SUTPRQ. Both stated in a clockwise manner.

Hexagonal and circle both are same in seating arrangement. Don't confuse it.

Why are the answers getting wrong? If I place the items in a position where I wanted to, Is there any procedure to place the items so that I would get the correct answer.

@Nandhini.
I too got the same answer as you got. But I analyzed. It is because they are facing center. And to the left of you in a clockwise direction, if you take p you can solve the question.

In my last comment, the order of the paragraphs has gone wrong due to technical reasons. So I am reposting it in the correct order.
So, when we start with P in a circle or hexagon, the exact position is not important. You can start by placing P at any point and then relative to it to solve the problem. And it doesn't affect the result.
But in a square table, when people sit in corners as well as in the middle of any side of the table, the points have to be placed carefully.
But even there the starting point can be in East, West, North or South without loss of correctness if nothing is explicitly mentioned.
Whether it will be a corner point or in the middle of a side is important.
