3. Cages with odd numbers are situated opposite to the cages with even numbers, and no two cages with even numbers and no two cages with odd numbers are adjacent to each other.

Which of the following options represents the correct number of cages in one of rows, not necessarily in the same order?

Arrangement is like this:

1(S)---4(M/V)---9 (Q)---6(M/V)---3(R)

8(N)---5(T)-----10(U)---7(O)-----2(P)
