Eight people E, H, M, P, S, T, Y and Z are sitting in a straight line. All of them are facing North. E sits fourth from one of the extreme ends of the line. H sits third to the right of E. As many people sit to the right of H as to the left of M. Only one person sits between M and P. S sits to the immediate right of Z. Only one person sits between Z and T.
E is 4th from one end.
H is 3rd right of E.
As many right of H as left of M.
One person between M and P.
S immediate right of Z.
One person between Z and T.
Step 1: Try E at pos5 (4th from right end). Then H at pos8. ,
Right of H = 0, so left of M = 0 → M at pos1.
One between M and P → M=1, P=3.
So: M=1, P=3, E=5, H=8.
Step 2: Remaining pos2,4,6,7 for S,Z,T,Y.
S = Z+1, |Z-T| = 2.
Try Z=6 → S=7, T=4, Y=2.
Order: 1=M,2=Y,3=P,4=T,5=E,6=Z,7=S,8=H.
Step 3: Question asks between S and T? S=7, T=4 → between = pos5,6 → 2 persons.

6 boys P,Q,R,S,T,U in a row facing North.
P and Q not in 1st or 2nd place.
R and S together, R at one end.
R does not have S to his right.
Who is on West end (left end)?
Step 1: R at end. If R at left end, S to his right (allowed). If R at right end, S to left.
Step 2: P,Q not in pos1 or pos2 → left end cannot be P or Q.
So left end is R,S,T, or U.
Step 3: If R at left end → left end = R. If R at right end → left end = T or U.
Thus left end could be T or U.
Answer: (d) T or U
