Directions: Read the following details carefully to answer the question that follows.

Eight colleagues, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W, are sitting around a circular conference table, all facing towards the center. T sits to the immediate left of S. Only two people sit between T and Q. P sits second to the right of Q. U sits adjacent to both P and Q. V sits opposite to T. R sits adjacent to V but does not sit adjacent to Q. W sits between R and S.

How many people sit between W and U?

The correct answer is Three.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Let us analyze the given information step-by-step to arrange the eight colleagues (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W) around a circular table facing towards the center.
Since all colleagues are facing the center:
- Moving clockwise represents moving to the left.
- Moving counter-clockwise represents moving to the right.

Step 1: Position S and T
Let S be at position 1.
T sits to the immediate left of S, which places T at position 2 (clockwise from S).

Step 2: Position Q, P, and U
Only two people sit between T (position 2) and Q.
- Moving clockwise from T, Q will be at position 5 (with positions 3 and 4 in between).
P sits second to the right of Q (position 5). Moving counter-clockwise, second to the right of Q is position 3, so P is at position 3.
U sits adjacent to both P and Q, which means U must sit between them at position 4.

Step 3: Position V, R, and W
V sits opposite to T. In an 8-person circular table, the seat opposite to position 2 is position 6. Thus, V is at position 6.
R sits adjacent to V (position 6), but does not sit adjacent to Q (position 5). Therefore, R must be at position 7.
W sits between R (position 7) and S (position 1), placing W at position 8.

Final Circular Seating Order (Clockwise from position 1 to 8):
1. S
2. T
3. P
4. U
5. Q
6. V
7. R
8. W

Conclusion:
We need to find how many people sit between W (position 8) and U (position 4):
- Going clockwise from W to U: S (1), T (2), and P (3) are between them, which equals 3 people.
- Going counter-clockwise from W to U: R (7), V (6), and Q (5) are between them, which also equals 3 people.

Therefore, exactly 3 people sit between W and U.
