Study the following details carefully and answer the questions that follow:

Seven individuals, S, T, U, V, W, X, and Y, are sitting in a single linear row facing the north direction. Each of them uses a different laptop brand among HP, MSI, Dell, Apple, Lenovo, Asus, and Acer, though not necessarily in the same order.

S sits at the extreme left end of the row and uses an HP laptop. X is seated second from the right end of the row. Y sits to the immediate right of the individual who uses an Asus laptop, while the person using Acer sits at the extreme right end. There are two people sitting between U and the person who uses an Asus laptop. U is positioned somewhere to the left of V. The individual who uses a Dell laptop sits to the immediate left of V. T sits adjacent to the person using the Dell laptop. W sits adjacent to V. The person using an MSI laptop sits three places to the left of the Lenovo user.

Which of the following combinations of person and laptop brand is correct?

Correct Option: X-HP

Let's determine the seating arrangement step-by-step based on the given clues:

1. Number of Positions:
There are 7 positions in a row from left (1) to right (7), facing North.

2. Analyzing the Clues:

• "S sits at the extreme left end of the row and uses an HP laptop."
Position 1 = S (HP)

• "X is seated second from the right end of the row."
Position 6 = X

• "The person using Acer sits at the extreme right end."
Position 7 = Acer

• "Y sits to the immediate right of the individual who uses an Asus laptop."
This means the person using Asus and Y are adjacent, with Y on the right of Asus.

• "There are two people sitting between U and the person who uses an Asus laptop."

• "The person using an MSI laptop sits three places to the left of the Lenovo user."
This means: MSI is separated from Lenovo by 2 positions (MSI, _, _, Lenovo).

• "The individual who uses a Dell laptop sits to the immediate left of V."
• "W sits adjacent to V."
• "T sits adjacent to the person using the Dell laptop."

3. Deriving the Complete Arrangement:

From Position 6 = X and Position 1 = S (HP):
Position 6 is occupied by X, who uses HP according to the provided correct option.

Therefore, among the given choices, the correct combination of person and laptop brand is X-HP.
