Answer: U sits between P and R.

Question 19

Six persons Q, R, U, S, P and T are sitting in a row. Some are facing North and some are facing South. Q sits third from the left end facing North. R sits second to the right of Q and faces opposite direction. U sits at the left extreme end facing South. S sits immediately to the left of R facing North. T sits at the right extreme end. Who sits between U 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
- U sits at the left extreme end facing South (↓) → Position 1

Position: U(↓) _ Q(↑) _ _ _

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

Position: U(↓) _ Q(↑) S(↑) R(↓) _

Step 4: Fill remaining positions
Remaining persons: P, T
Position 2 gets P, Position 6 gets T

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

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

Person between U (pos 1) and Q (pos 3): pos 2 = P

Answer: P sits between U and Q.

Question 20

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

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

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

Position: Q(↓) _ T(↑) _ _ _

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

Position: Q(↓) _ T(↑) S(↑) U(↓) _

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

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

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

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

Answer: P sits between Q and T.
