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

S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z are seated in a straight line but not necessarily in the same order. Some of them are facing south while some are facing north. S sits fourth to left of X. X sits at one of the extreme ends of the line. Both the immediate neighbours of S face north. T sits second to the left of Z. Z is not an immediate neighbour of S. Neither Z nor U sits at the extreme end of the line. Both the immediate neighbours of U face north. W sits to the immediate left of Y. Immediate neighbours of V face opposite directions (i.e. if one neighbour of V faces North then the other faces South and vice-versa). Immediate neighbours of T face opposite directions (i.e. if one neighbour of T faces North then the other faces South and vice-versa). S faces south. People sitting at the extreme ends face the opposite directions (i.e. if one person faces North then the other faces South and vice-versa).
