Direction(6-10): Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions

P,Q, R, S, A, B, C and D are eight friends studying in engineering colleges in different streams like Aeronautical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Technical Engineering, but not in the same order. All of them are seated around a circular table, facing away from the centre. P sits third to the left of the person who studies Electrical Engineering. Only two persons sit between A and C. Neither A nor C studies Electrical Engineering and neither of them is an immediate neighbor of P. The person who studies Technical Engineering sits second to the right of S. S is not an immediate neighbour of P. S does not study Electrical Engineering and P does not study Technical Engineering. The one who studies Aeronautical Engineering sits third to the left of B. The one who studies Aeronautical Engineering and the one who studies Electrical Engineering are not immediate neighbours. Only one person sits between S and the one who studies Chemical Engineering. The person who studies Electronic Engineering and the one who studies Computer Engineering are immediate neighbours. Only one person sits between Q and the one who studies Civil Engineering. The one who studies Civil Engineering is an immediate neighbour of D. C and Q are not immediate neighbours. S does not study Computer Engineering.
