Both R and Q sit adjacent to each other. The number of persons sits between P and S is one less than the number of persons sits between S and R when counted from the right of both P and S respectively. At least one person sits between N and R when counted from the right of N. As per these statements, CASE I and CASE III get eliminated and we continue with CASE II and the final arrangement will look like this:
