Given: Eight persons — S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z — are sitting in a linear row facing either North or South, but not necessarily in the same order. Not more than two persons sitting together face the same direction.

1. Three persons sit between Y and S.
2. Z sits second to the right of S and doesn’t sit at any of the extreme ends of the row.
3. More than one person sit between Z and Y. 

Here, there are two cases, i.e. Case 1 and case 2. 4. X sits fourth to the left of Z. 5. Two persons sit between X and V. 6. W sits second to the right of V. 7. U sits fourth to the right of W. 8. Both the immediate neighbours of X face the same direction. 9. T and Y face the same direction.  10. U and Y face opposite direction to each other.  11. T doesn’t face north.

Case 1 gets eliminated because G faces in north direction. So, the final arrangement:

S sits third to the right of U.

Hence, the correct answer is ‘S’.
