Directions (6-10): Answer the questions based on the information given below.
Eight persons M, N, O, P, Q, R, S and T sit at an equal distance from each other, around the square table facing towards the center. Each of them has different number of houses from 1 to 8. On the square table two persons sit on each side such that persons on opposite side face each other. Each of them moved from square table to a linear row such that all of them are facing north direction.

Before rearrangement, M sits second to the right of P who has 1 house. R has double the number of houses of N. Before rearrangement, S sits immediate left of R but not on same side and none of them sit adjacent to P or M. Before rearrangement, T sits opposite to N who is not adjacent to P (from both sides of P). After rearrangement, M sits third to the left of S who does not sit at extreme end. After rearrangement one who has 8 houses sits immediate left of M. After rearrangement, N sits second from extreme left end. After rearrangement, O who has 5 houses, sits immediate left of Q who has 6 houses. Person who was sitting opposite to M before rearrangement now sits immediate left of N after rearrangement.
