Every step explained — no skipped algebra.
Facing the center means the person to the immediate right of Q is clockwise to Q. Place Q, then P to the right (clockwise). R is second to the left of P means two places anticlockwise from P is R. T is to the immediate left (anticlockwise) of U. After arranging all accordingly, S ends up opposite to P. Hence, Option A is correct.
