​Who is sitting between Q and U?

Correct option is C

We are given six friends – P, Q, R, S, T, and U – sitting in a straight line facing north. Let’s place them based on the conditions step by step.

Conditions:
1. P sits third to the left of T.
- Since there are six seats, T must be near the right end for P to be three seats to the left. Let’s place T in Seat 6 and P in Seat 3.
Arrangement: __P__T

2. U is an immediate neighbor of P.
- U must sit in Seat 2 or Seat 4. Let’s place U in Seat 2.
Arrangement: _UP__T

3. Q sits second to the right of S.
- For Q to sit second to the right of S, S must sit in Seat 1. This places Q in Seat 4.
Arrangement: SUPQ_T

4. R is not sitting at any end of the line.
- The only available seat for R is Seat 5.
Final Arrangement: SUPQRT

Final Arrangement:
1. Seat 1: S
2. Seat 2: U
3. Seat 3: P
4. Seat 4: Q
5. Seat 5: R
6. Seat 6: T

Answer: (c) P
