CU
DP
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. P
1. Sequence R between S and U means S-R-U or U-R-S triplet exists.
2. U-T adjacency extends to S-R-U-T or T-U-R-S blocks.
3. P-Q must be adjacent and outside this 4-block.
4. Since T is not at an end, the 4-block sits in the middle and PQ flanks one end; P (or Q) can be at the end. Among options, P is at an end.
