Instructions

Study the following information to answer the given questions. S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z are sitting in a straight line equidistant fromeach other (but not necessarily in the same order). Some of them are facing south while some are facing north. (Note : Facing the same direction means, if one is facing north then the other also faces north and vice­versa. Facing the opposite directions means, if one is facing north then the other faces south and vice­versa) S faces north. Only two people sit to the right of S. T sits third to the left of S. Only one person sits between T and X. X sits to the immediateright of W. Only one person sits between W and Z. Both the immediate neighbours of T face the same direction. U sits third to the left of X. T faces the opposite direction as S. Y does not sit at any of the extreme ends of the line. V faces the same direction as W. Both Y and U face the opposite direction of Z.

Question 85

Four of the following five are alike in a certain way, and so form a group. Which of the following does not belong to the group ?

S faces north. Only two people sit to the right of S. T sits third to the left of S
_ _ T _ _ S _ _

Only one person sits between T and X
X _ T _ _ S _ _ or _ _ T _ X S _ _

X sits to the immediate right of W
X W T _ _ S _ _ if W faces South.
_ _ T W X S _ _ if W faces North.

Only one person sits between W and Z
X W T W _ S _ _ if W faces South.
_ Z T W X S _ _ if W faces North.

U sits third to the left of X
X W T W _ S _ _ if W faces South, can be eliminated as that position is already assigned
.
_ Z T W X S _ U if W faces North.

Y does not sit at any of the extreme ends of the line
V Z T W X S Y U. W faces North as well as S.

Directions:-
Both the immediate neighbours of T face the same direction. Thus Z faces north as well.
V faces the same direction as W ie north.
Both Y and U face the opposite direction of Z, therefore both faces south.

All of the pair are facing opposite direction except T, Y.
Hence Option D.
