The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of who is sitting to the immediate right of Q, we will analyze the given statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** R is between P and S. - This means that if we place R in the circle, P and S must be on either side of R. - The possible arrangements can be: 1. P - R - S 2. S - R - P ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II **Statement II:** S is to the immediate right of R. - This statement specifies that S is directly to the right of R. - In a circular arrangement, if we consider R's position, S must be placed clockwise from R. ### Step 3: Combine the Statements Now, let's combine both statements to find the arrangement of all four individuals. 1. From Statement I, we know R is between P and S. 2. From Statement II, S is to the immediate right of R. This means: - If R is in the middle, and S is to the right of R, then the only arrangement that satisfies both statements is: - P - R - S - Therefore, P must be to the left of R. ### Step 4: Determine Q's Position Since there are only four people (P, Q, R, S), and we have already placed P, R, and S, the only person left is Q. - The arrangement now looks like this: - P - R - S - Q ### Step 5: Identify Who is to the Immediate Right of Q To find out who is to the immediate right of Q, we look at the arrangement: - Q is sitting at the end of the arrangement, and the immediate right of Q (clockwise direction) will be P. ### Conclusion Thus, the person sitting to the immediate right of Q is **P**.

To solve the problem of who is sitting to the immediate right of Q, we will analyze the given statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** R is between P and S. - This means that if we place R in the circle, P and S must be on either side of R. - The possible arrangements can be: 1.
