SQRUTP
TSRQUP
SRTUPQ
SQPUTR
Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is (c) SRTUPQ.
Let’s start with P. R is third from P in the right, so R is the fourth person in the clockwise direction from P. Q is third from T in the left, so Q is the fourth person

in the counterclockwise direction from T. U is between P and T, so U is the second person in the clockwise direction from P and the second person in the counterclockwise direction from T. S is third from U in the left, so S is the fourth person in the counterclockwise direction from U.
Therefore, the order of the six people in clockwise direction is:
- P
- U
- T
- Q
- R
- S
Here is a diagram to illustrate the seating arrangement:

Option (a), SQRUTP, is incorrect because Q is not between P and T. Option (b), TSRQUP, is incorrect because R is not third from P in the right. Option (d), SQPUTR, is incorrect because S is not third from U in the left.
