Answer: T sits between S and U.

Question 19

Six persons P, R, T, U, S and Q are sitting in a row. Some are facing North and some are facing South. P sits third from the left end facing North. R sits second to the right of P and faces opposite direction. T sits at the left extreme end facing South. U sits immediately to the left of R facing North. Q sits at the right extreme end. Who sits between T and P?
Solution Approach:

Step 1: Mark directions
↑ = North facing, ↓ = South facing

Step 2: Apply position-based conditions
- P sits third from the left end facing North (↑) → Position 3
- T sits at the left extreme end facing South (↓) → Position 1

Position: T(↓) _ P(↑) _ _ _

Step 3: Apply relative positioning
- R sits second to the right of P (pos 3) → Position 5
- R faces opposite direction to P (North) → R faces South (↓)
- U sits immediately to the left of R (pos 5) facing North (↑) → Position 4

Position: T(↓) _ P(↑) U(↑) R(↓) _

Step 4: Fill remaining positions
Remaining persons: S, Q
Position 2 gets S, Position 6 gets Q

Final Arrangement:
Pos: T(↓) S(↑) P(↑) U(↑) R(↓) Q(↑)

Verification:
✓ P at pos 3, facing North
✓ R at pos 5 (second right of P), facing South (opposite of P)
✓ T at pos 1 (left extreme), facing South
✓ U at pos 4 (immediately left of R), facing North

Person between T (pos 1) and P (pos 3): pos 2 = S

Answer: S sits between T and P.

Question 20

Six persons Q, P, T, U, S and R are sitting in a row. Some are facing North and some are facing South. Q sits third from the left end facing North. P sits second to the right of Q and faces opposite direction. T sits at the left extreme end facing South. U sits immediately to the left of P facing North. R sits at the right extreme end. Who sits between T and Q?
Solution Approach:

Step 1: Mark directions
↑ = North facing, ↓ = South facing

Step 2: Apply position-based conditions
- Q sits third from the left end facing North (↑) → Position 3
- T sits at the left extreme end facing South (↓) → Position 1

Position: T(↓) _ Q(↑) _ _ _

Step 3: Apply relative positioning
- P sits second to the right of Q (pos 3) → Position 5
- P faces opposite direction to Q (North) → P faces South (↓)
- U sits immediately to the left of P (pos 5) facing North (↑) → Position 4

Position: T(↓) _ Q(↑) U(↑) P(↓) _

Step 4: Fill remaining positions
Remaining persons: S, R
Position 2 gets S, Position 6 gets R

Final Arrangement:
Pos: T(↓) S(↑) Q(↑) U(↑) P(↓) R(↑)

Verification:
✓ Q at pos 3, facing North
✓ P at pos 5 (second right of Q), facing South (opposite of Q)
✓ T at pos 1 (left extreme), facing South
✓ U at pos 4 (immediately left of P), facing North

Person between T (pos 1) and Q (pos 3): pos 2 = S

Answer: S sits between T and Q.
