Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

W

Solution :

The correct option is W.

Let us step-by-step analyze the positions of the eight colleagues (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W) sitting around a circular table facing the center.

1. Position of S and T:
Let us fix S at a position. T sits to the immediate left of S.

2. Position of Q:
Only two people sit between T and Q. Counting around the circle, Q must be placed such that there are 2 positions between T and Q.

3. Position of P and U:
P sits second to the right of Q.
U sits adjacent to both P and Q (i.e., U sits between P and Q).

4. Position of V:
V sits directly opposite to T.

5. Position of R and W:
R sits adjacent to V but not adjacent to Q.
W sits between R and S.

Combining all positions in clockwise order around the table starting from S gives:
S → T → W → R → V → P → U → Q → (back to S)

Let us check the position third to the right of P:
Facing the center, moving to the right of P:
- 1st to the right of P is V
- 2nd to the right of P is R
- 3rd to the right of P is W

Therefore, W sits third to the right of P.
