Facing the opposite directions means if one is facing north then the other is facing south and vice versa.) Each one likes a different fruit, viz. banana, sapodilla, orange, apple, guava, grapes, pineapple and litchi.
R is seated second to the right of P. V faces the same direction as P and T faces the same direction as R. The person who likes sapodilla is facing south at one of the extreme ends. Q likes banana and is seated between the persons who like apple and guava. Both the immediate neighbours of R face the same direction. Both the immediate neighbours of T face the opposite directions. S likes grapes and seated between R and T. P does not like guava. P sits third to the left of S who is facing north. P is not the neighbor of W.
