Five persons S, T, U, V, and W are standing in a line facing towards the east. Only T is standing between U and S. U is standing third to the right of W and to the immediate left of V.
Who is standing at the extreme right end?

  1. A
    W
  2. B
    V
  3. C
    U
  4. D
    S

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's find the linear arrangement from left to right (where right corresponds to moving towards the south direction if facing East, or simply treat it as standard Left-Right row layout):
"U is standing third to the right of W." This gives the relative spacing: W, _, _, U.

"U is to the immediate left of V." This means V is immediately to the right of U: W, _, _, U, V.

"Only T is standing between U and S." Since U is followed by V on the right, S must be to the left of U, with T in between them.

Filling this into our row: W, S, T, U, V.

Let's double check all conditions:

Five persons: W, S, T, U, V (Total 5).

Only T is between U and S: Yes, S, T, U.

U is third to the right of W: Positions from W are 1st (S), 2nd (T), 3rd (U). Yes.

U is to the immediate left of V: Yes.

The person standing at the extreme right end is V.
