Initial:
Draw a circle with eight empty boxes. And name the empty boxes as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 ( I am naming them in numbers in anti-clockwise direction just to explain where to place the persons; as I cant draw the circle for each step).

Note: Draw the solution in a paper for each step, otherwise understanding the answer will be difficult

Step 1:
From the question, we can place two persons rightaway, that is Doctor and U.
Q: U sits second to the right of Doctor.
Put Doctor in box 1. (doctor can be placed in any box; but to start, I place him in box 1)
Now U sits second to the right of Doctor,
So, U sits in box 3.

Step 2:
Q: Cook is an immediate neighbor of Doctor. Two people sit between Cook and Q. R and T are immediate neighbours. Neither R nor T is an immediate neighbor of either Q or doctor.

So Cook can sit in box 8 or 2 (cook immediate neighbour of doctor).
If we place cook in box 8, Q must sit in 5 or 3 (as two people must sit between Cook and Q).
Q cant sit in 3 (already U is in 3)
If we put Q in 5, only box to put R and T as immediate neighbors would be box 6 and 7. But neither R nor T is an immediate neighbor of Q. So Q cant sit in box 5.
Hence, Cook sits in box 2.

Now again, try to place Q. (two people sit between cook and Q)
So Q can sit in box 5 or 7.
If we put Q in 5, only box to put R and T as immediate neighbors would be box (6 and 7) or box (7 and 8). But neither R nor T is an immediate neighbor of Q and Doctor. We cant put R and T in 6 and 7 because Q is in 5. And we cant put R ant T in 7 and 8 as Doctor is in 1.
Hence, Q sits in box 7. Now R or T must sit in 5 or 4. (we will solve it later; but mark boxes 5 and 4 for R and T)

Step 3:
Q: Engineer sits second to the right of S, who is neither Doctor nor cook.
Now we will try to sit S.
Solution found till now , Q in box 7, U in box 3 , R or T in box 5 or 4
Doctor in box 1 and Cook in box 2.
S is not Doctor nor cook, Hence S can sit in 6 or 8.
Engineer must sit second to the right of S, if we put S in 8, then we see second to its right(box 2) is already the cook.
Hence, S sits in box 6. Now Engineer sits in box 8

Step 4:
Q: V and Scientists are immediate neighbors of each other. Q is not scientist.
Solution found till now, Q in box 7, U in box 3 , R or T in box 5 or 4, S in box 6
Doctor in box 1, Cook in box 2, Engineer in box 8.
V can sit in 8 or 1 or 2.
V can’t sit in box 8. Because its immediate neighbours are doctor and Q (but Q is not scientist)
V can’t sit in box 1. Because its immediate neighbours are doctor and cook.
Hence, V sits in box 2 and is a cook; his immediate neighbor U in box 3 is a Scientist.

Step 5:
Q: W sits third to the left of business man
Solution found till now, Q – box 7, S – box 6, V- box 2,U-box 3 , R or T in box 5 or 4

Only boxes with no person is box 1 and 8. Hence, W can be in 1 or 8.
W can’t be in box 8, as U who is the scientist is in box 3.( W must be third to the left of businessman.)
Hence, W sits in box 1 and Businessman sits in box 4.

Step 6:
Q:Singer sits second to the left of Professor.

Now, boxes with no professions are box 5,6 and 7

Professor can’t sit in box 5, as second to its left would be U the scientist.
Professor can’t sit in box 6, as second to its left would be Businessman.
Hence Professor sits in box 7 and Singer sits in box 5.

Step 7:
Q:Only one person sits between R and Accountant.
Only box with no profession is box 6.
Hence Accountant sits in box 6 and R sits in box 4 (as one person must sit between R and Accountant).
As R sits in box 4, we now know T sits in box 5.

Step 8:
Only box with no person is box 8. We have placed all other persons.
Hence P sits in box 8.

Final Solution
Box – Person – Profession
1 – W – Doctor
2 – V – Cook
3 – U – Scientist
4 – R – Businessman
5 – T – Singer
6 – S – Accountant
7 – Q – Professor
8 – P -Engineer

question is good for practise but such a high level is not tested in either CLERK OR PO exam. Frequently tested - 2 people faces centre, rest face outside or double arrangement with profession (but not very high level)

P, Q, R, S, T, V, X and Y are seated in a straight line facing North. P sits fourth to the left of V. V sits either sixth from the left end of the line or fourth from the right end of the line. S sits second to the right of R. R is not an immediate neighbour of V. T and Q are immediate neighbours of each other but neither T nor Q sits at extreme ends of the line. Only one person sits between T and X. X does not sit at the extreme end of the line.

Six Persons Arjun, Ajay, Aman, Abhay, Abhinav and Alok
live in a building on floors 1 to 6. Each of them studies
different subjects as English, Biology, Civics, Accounts,
Hindi and History but not in this particular order. Each of
them likes a different cartoon amongst Popeye, Power-puff
Girls, Tom & Jerry, Duck Tales, Scooby Doo and Dexter but
not in this order.
Person who studies Civics & Accounts have at least one
person between them. Abhinav and Alok aren’t adjacent to
each other. The one who lives on 2nd floor studies Biology
and likes Scooby Doo. There is exactly one person between
one who likes Dexter and the one who likes Popeye. One,
who studies Hindi, likes Duck Tales. Ajay likes to watch
Power-puff Girls & lives on 5th floor. There are exactly two
people between one who studies History & one who
studies Hindi. And, three people live between Aman and
Abhinav. Aman likes Tom & Jerry and lives on top floor.
