4. Y is not sitting beside P or S.
5. T is third to the right of R.
6. R is not sitting at the mid - point of any side of the table.
7. R is also not beside Y.

9. Q is not sitting beside V.
How many people are there between T and Q?
- A. 1
- B. 2
- C. 3
- D. None
Answer: C. 3
Explanation: By drawing the seating arrangement based on the rules: P is at a corner (faces center). S is 3rd to the right of P (so S is at a midpoint facing out). R is at a corner. T is 3rd to the right of R. Solving the constraints step-by-step places T and Q exactly opposite each other on the square table. Thus, there are 3 people between them counting from either direction.
