Given,

Eight friends P, Q, R, S, T, V, W and Y are sitting around a square table.

Out of eight, four persons are sitting at the corners of the table and the other four are sitting at the mid points of each side of the table. 

Persons at the corners are facing the centre while the persons at the mid- points of side are facing outside. 

S is third to the right of P. P is facing the centre.

Y is not sitting beside P or S.

R is not sitting at the mid point of any side of the table.

R is also not beside Y.

qImage6852ac6ba904d8b00273558c

T is third to the right of R.

Case I is not possible.

qImage6852ac6ba904d8b00273558d

There is only one person between P and V.

Case II A is not possible.

qImage6852ac6ca904d8b00273558e

Q is not sitting beside V.

qImage6852ac6ca904d8b00273558f

And W sits at the remaining place.
