square-table-question-new-pattern-2

Q) 8 friends P,Q,R,S,T,V,W,Y are sitting around a square table. Among them 4 are sitting on corners of the table while remaining 4 are sitting on the middle of side of the table. Those sitting at the corners are facing centre while those sitting at the middle are facing outwards.
S is sitting third to the right of P. P is facing centre. Y is not sitting adjacent to P or S. T is sitting third to the right of R. R is not sitting at any of the middle of the sides of the table, and is not sitting in immediate neighbor of Y. Only one person is sitting between P & V. Q is not an immediate neighbor of of V.

Lets start!!!

This question is somewhat tricky and we need to move forward a bit carefully, So we take the first line i.e.

S is sitting third to the right of P.

but this line is of little help to us because we cant say which one of them is a t corner, so we read next line

P is facing center.this will help us a lot because it is given that those sitting at corners are facing center, so p is obviously at the corner

and our resultant figure will

be

Moving further, we see that

Y is not sitting adjacent to P or S.

So following this statement we have only 2 positions left for Y which are shown in figure

This is somewhat tricky step because we need to keep Y at both places and check that which one of these is correct place for Y. So we will place it at the middle and now check it with the following statement

R is not sitting at any of the middle of the sides of the table, and is not sitting in immediate neighbor of Y.

According to this situation R is left with only 1 place which is shown in figure

Now if we look at 1 more statement which say

T is sitting third to the right of R.

So due to this statement Y and T will overlap so our assumption to put y in the middle is false, hence Y will be at corner as shown in the figure.

Following one statement

Only one person is sitting between P & V.

R cannot be on right top, so its place will be top left corner

Now as R is at the top left corner, so we will place R as shown in the figure & because of the statement

T is sitting third to the right of R.

the resultant figure will be

Now reading next statement,

Only one person is sitting between P & V.

We can conclude that V has only one place to go, which is shown in figure

Finally after reading the statement

Q is not an immediate neighbor of of V.

So Q will have only one place to set which is between R and Y

Hence the complete figure after all this will be

I have tried my best to explain this pattern, but still if anybody has any confusion or any query related to this, you can ask here.

Thank You
