Six persons P, Q, R, S, T and U sit in a row facing north. P sits at the extreme left end. U sits fourth to the right of P. T sits immediately to the left of U. Q sits at the extreme right end. R sits next to P. Who sits between R and T?
S sits between R and T. Placing the definite clues first gives P at seat 1, U at seat 5, T at seat 4 and Q at seat 6. R is next to P at seat 2, so S takes seat 3, between R and T.

Explanation
Number the seats 1 to 6 from the left. P is in seat 1, U in seat 5 (fourth to the right of P), T in seat 4, Q in seat 6. R is next to P, so R is in seat 2, leaving S in seat 3. The order is P R S T U Q, so S is between R and T. Writing the fixed clues first removes any ambiguity.
