Directions: Seven varsity basketball players (P, Q, R, S, T, U and V) are to be honored at a special lunch. The players will be seated on the dais in a row. P and V have to leave the luncheon early and so must be seated at the extreme right. B will receive the most valuable player's trophy and so must be in the center to facilitate presentation. R and S are bitter rivals and therefore must be seated as far apart as possible.

Which of the following cannot be seated at either end ?
1) R 2) S
3) U 4) V
5)None of these
Answer : U
Explanation :
 
From  the data we know that 
(i) Q is at 4th position.
(ii) P and V are at 6 and 7 position, but not necessarily in that order. Since R and  S have to be as far apart as possible, they have to sit at places 1 and 5 but not necessarily in that order. The remaining places can be occupied by T and U, in any order.

U can't be seated at either end . the answer is 'U'.
