2) Only 3 people sit between R and S.

3) T is not an immediate neighbour of Q and R.

4) T is an immediate neighbour of the one who is second to the left of S.

Thus, in Case I, S must face outside and T would be immediate left of S. And in Case II, S must face inside and T would be immediate left of S.
