The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining who is second to the right of P, we will analyze the two statements provided step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I - **Statement I**: R is to the immediate left of T and second to the right of S. Let's visualize this: - If we place T at any position in the circle, R will be immediately to the left of T. - Since they are facing the center, the left of T means moving clockwise. - R is also second to the right of S. This means if we place S, R will be two positions clockwise from S. ### Step 2: Visualize Statement I - Assume T is at position 1. Then R will be at position 5 (immediate left). - Now, we need to find S such that R is second to the right of S. - If S is at position 4, then R (position 5) is second to the right of S (position 4). So far, we have: - T at position 1 - R at position 5 - S at position 4 Now we have to find Q and P. Since we have no information about Q and P from Statement I alone, we cannot conclude who is second to the right of P. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement II - **Statement II**: Q is to the immediate right of S and third to the left of P. Let's visualize this: - If S is at position 4 (from Statement I), then Q will be at position 1 (immediate right of S). - If Q is at position 1, then P must be at position 4 (third to the left of P). ### Step 4: Visualize Statement II - From Statement II, we have: - Q at position 1 - S at position 4 - P must be at position 3 (since Q is third to the left of P). Now we have: - T at position 2 (to fill the circle) - R at position 5 - S at position 4 - Q at position 1 - P at position 3 ### Step 5: Determine Who is Second to the Right of P - P is at position 3. - The first right of P (position 4) is S. - The second right of P (position 5) is R. Thus, the person who is second to the right of P is **R**. ### Conclusion The answer to the question "Who is second to the right of P?" is **R**.

To solve the problem of determining who is second to the right of P, we will analyze the two statements provided step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I - **Statement I**: R is to the immediate left of T and second to the right of S.
