∙ The first clue that the problem statement gives us is that there are 8 people sitting in a circular arrangement.
∙ The second clue tells us that P is sitting between V and R, and is also sitting opposite to U.
∙ According to the next clue, T is sitting between W and R. T is also second to the right of P and second to the left of U.
∙ S is sitting second to the left of V. The only person left in the series is Q and there is only one space left so that must be the correct place for it.
∙ From our series we can see that U is sitting between W and S.
∙ Thus, option C is the correct answer.
