Eight people P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W are sitting around a square table facing outside the centre. Four of them are sitting at the corners and four are sitting along the side. They are also from different countries — India, US, PAK, UK, Bangladesh, UAE, Brazil and Nepal. Q is not an immediate neighbour of W. The person who is from PAK sits third to the right of the one who is from Bangladesh. V, who is from US sits second to the left of U, who is from India. V who sits at one of the corners also sits third to the left of the one who is from UK. There are 3 people sit between P and R, who is from Nepal. S is not an immediate neighbour of both P and Q, who is from UK. T sits opposite to the one who is from US. Q sits second to the left of P, who is from Brazil.
