Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below :
Eight persons — M, N, O, P, Q, R, S and T — are sitting around a circular table at equal distance between each other, but not necessarily in the same order. Some of them are facing the centre while some others are facing outside (i.e., in a direction opposite to the centre)
Note : Facing the same direction means if one faces the centre then the other also faces the centre and vice-versa. Facing opposite directions means if one person faces the centre then the other person faces outside and vice-versa. R is sitting second to the right of Q. Only three persons are sitting between R and S. T is sitting second to the right of R. T faces the centre. R and S face opposite directions. P and S face opposite directions. N is sitting second to the left of P. P is not an immediate neighbour of Q. Only one person is sitting between P and O. O is not an immediate neighbour of Q. M is sitting third to the left of T. The immediate neighbours of T face opposite directions. M and R face opposite directions. N faces the same direction as that of O.
Four of the following five are alike in a certain way based on the given seating arrangement and hence they form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group ?
R is sitting second to the right of Q and only three persons are sitting between R and S, => Let Q faces outside and S sits opposite R.
T is sitting second to the right of R and T faces the centre, => R faces outside and T sits opposite Q.
R and S face opposite directions, => S faces the centre.
P and S face opposite directions, => P faces outside the centre.
N is sitting second to the left of P and P is not an immediate neighbour of Q, => P sit to the immediate right of T and N sits to the immediate left of R.
Only one person is sitting between P and O, => O sits to the immediate left of T.
M is sitting third to the left of T and M and R face opposite directions, => M faces inside.
N faces the same direction as that of O, => N also faces the centre.
M, N, O and S face the centre whereas Q faces in the opposite direction.
=> Ans - (D)
