Solution

The correct option is A Third to the left
We have a total eight persons:- four males and four females. They are all married couples sitting in a circle.
The profession of male members are Lecturer, Lawyer, Doctor and Scientist.
Conditions:-
(i) R (the Lawyer) and V (the Scientist) are sitting together.
(ii) Each man is seated beside his wife.
(iii) All are facing the center. Now, we start with R and V first:-

U the wife of lecurer is seated second to the right of V.

T is seated between U and V.

P is the wife of the Doctor and Q is not the Doctor.
Since, each man is sitting beside his wife, so the arrangement becomes.

S is male, so S is the doctor and Q is left, so he is the lecturer. Now. J is the Lawyer's wife.
Based on the above information we answer the following question:-
J is thrid to the left of T.
