Six people - S, T, U, V, W and Z are sitting around a circular table facing towards centre. Only one person is sitting between T and W. Z is an immediate neighbour of W. S is sitting third to left of Z. U is an immediate neighbour of W. V is not sitting immediate left of T. How many people are sitting between U and Z, when counted from the right of Z?
Options
- AOne
- BTwo
- CThree
- DFour
Correct answer
C. Three
Step-by-step solution
Six People: S, T, U, V, W and Z. 1) Only one person is sitting between T and W.
2) Z is an immediate neighbour of W. 3) S is sitting third to left of Z.
4) U is an immediate neighbour of W. 5) V is not sitting immediate left of T. This condition doesn't satisfy in case 1. Thus, case 1 gets eliminated.
Hence, three people are sitting between U and Z, when counted from the right of Z. Mistake Points Here, the question is, counted from the right of Z. So, from the right of Z, there are 3 people between them. and from the left, there is 1 person between U and Z.
2) Z is an immediate neighbour of W. 3) S is sitting third to left of Z.
4) U is an immediate neighbour of W. 5) V is not sitting immediate left of T. This condition doesn't satisfy in case 1. Thus, case 1 gets eliminated.
