Answer the questions based on the information given below.
Nine persons start a race from a particular point on a circular path. They run in a clockwise direction. Each of them stops after covering some distance on the path except one person, who completes the race i.e., he starts and ends the race at the same point. Each of them sits at the point, where they completed/stopped their race. All are facing towards the center. Also, each of them completed the race in different time (seconds). Each of them covers different distance.
Note: Running speed of every person is different. Distance covered by every person is different.
Q covered 8m more than that of T. Only two persons covered the lesser distance than that of O. R completed the race in 3.5 seconds. P covered the maximum distance among all. Two persons sit between O and S. One person sits between S and R. N sits immediate left of U, who completed the race in 2 seconds. M covered 11m more than that of R. M does not cover more distance that T and Q. P covered 17m more than T. S took 2 seconds more than O to complete the race. M sits immediate right of one, who took 8 seconds to complete the race. Person, who took 4 seconds to complete the race is immediate left of one, who took 9 seconds to complete the race. T took one-third of the time taken by Q to complete the race.

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Here, we can start with P, O, S and R to form two cases initially.
1.) R completed the race in 3.5 seconds.
2.) P covered the maximum distance among all.
3.) Only two persons covered the lesser distance than that of O.
4.) Two persons sit between O and S.
5.) One person sits between S and R.
From (2), P must have started and finished at the same point. From (3), O is third person to the left of P.
Case 1: When R sits second to the right of S.
Case 2: When R sits second to the left of S.
6.) N sits immediate left of U, who completed the race in 2 seconds.
7.) M covered 11m more than that of R.
8.) Q covered 8m more than that of T.
9.) M does not cover more distance than T and Q.
From (7), case 2 must be rejected. From (7) and (8), Q sits immediate left of T and M sits immediate right of S.
Case 1 :
10.) P covered 17m more than T.
11.) S took 2 seconds more than O to complete the race.
12.) M sits immediate right of one, who took 8 seconds to complete the race.
13.) Person, who took 4 seconds to complete the race is immediate left of one,
who took 9 seconds to complete the race.
14.) T took one-third of the time taken by Q to complete the race.
From (10), the distance between P and Q is 9m. From (11), O and S took 6 and 8 seconds respectively to complete the race. From (13) and (14), P, Q and T took 4, 9 and 3 seconds respectively.
As, the distance between M and S is not defined, so, we cannot determine the distance between T and R.
So, the correct option is (D) : Cannot be determined
1.) R completed the race in 3.5 seconds.
2.) P covered the maximum distance among all.
3.) Only two persons covered the lesser distance than that of O.
4.) Two persons sit between O and S.
5.) One person sits between S and R.
From (2), P must have started and finished at the same point. From (3), O is third person to the left of P.
Case 1: When R sits second to the right of S.
Case 2: When R sits second to the left of S.
6.) N sits immediate left of U, who completed the race in 2 seconds.
7.) M covered 11m more than that of R.
8.) Q covered 8m more than that of T.
9.) M does not cover more distance than T and Q.
From (7), case 2 must be rejected. From (7) and (8), Q sits immediate left of T and M sits immediate right of S.
Case 1 :
10.) P covered 17m more than T.
11.) S took 2 seconds more than O to complete the race.
12.) M sits immediate right of one, who took 8 seconds to complete the race.
13.) Person, who took 4 seconds to complete the race is immediate left of one,
who took 9 seconds to complete the race.
14.) T took one-third of the time taken by Q to complete the race.
From (10), the distance between P and Q is 9m. From (11), O and S took 6 and 8 seconds respectively to complete the race. From (13) and (14), P, Q and T took 4, 9 and 3 seconds respectively.
As, the distance between M and S is not defined, so, we cannot determine the distance between T and R.
So, the correct option is (D) : Cannot be determined
