Answers:   

Direction (1-5)

Only two persons are sitting to the right of O so O is 3^rd from the right end.

					O

 

N is 27 years old. Two persons are sitting between N and O. Two persons are sitting between M and the one who is 18 years old. M is not neighbor of N. M is not sitting at any end. So M is either immediate right or immediate left of O. As P is 2^nd to the right of the one who is 18 years old. M is 21 years old.

		N	P	M	O
	18	27		21

 

O’s age is twice of the S’s age so only one combination is left. S is 18 years old and O is 36 years old. Q is neighbor of S so Q is at the left end. One person is sitting between T and the one who is 36 years old so T is at the right end and R is immediate right of O.

Q	S	N	P	M	O	R	T
	18	27		21	36

 

R is younger to O then R must be 33 years old. P is elder to Q but younger to T. So Q is 42 years old, P is 55 years old and T is 60 years old.

 

Here is the final arrangement:

Q	S	N	P	M	O	R	T
42	18	27	55	21	36	33	60
