S, T, U, V, W, X and Y are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. S sits fourth to
the left of W. T sits second to the right of S. V is neither the immediate neighbour of T
nor S. X sits third to the right of V. Y is not the immediate neighbour of W. How many
people are sitting between S and T, when counted from the left of S?
-
A.
Four

Three

Correct Answer:
A. Four
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option A: Four.
To determine the arrangement of the seven people (S, T, U, V, W, X, and Y) around the circular table:1. Position W at the top of the circle. Since S sits fourth to the left of W, S is placed directly opposite W.
2. T sits second to the right of S, placing T two spots clockwise from S.
3. V is not next to T or S. There are two spots left between T and W; V must occupy the one not adjacent to T, placing V next to W.
4. X sits third to the right of V. Counting three spots clockwise from V, X is placed between S and T.
5. Y is not next to W, so Y must occupy the remaining spot between S and V. This leaves U to fill the last spot next to W and T.Following the sequence clockwise from S, the order is S, Y, V, W, U, T, X. To find the number of people between S and T when counting from the left (clockwise) of S, we count Y, V, W, and U. This results in four people.
