Eight people E, F, G, H, J, K, L and M are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. Each of them is of a different profession Chartered Accountant, Colomnist, Doctor, Engineer, Financial Analyst, Lawyer, Professor and Scientist but not necessarily in the same order. F I s sitting second to the left of K. The Scientist is an immediate neighbour of K. There are only three people between the Scientist and E. Only one person sits between the Engineer and E. The Coloumnist is to t he immediate r ight of the Engineer. M is second to the right of is the Scientist. G and J are immediate neighboursof each other. Neither G nor J is an Engineer. The Financjial Analyst is to the immediate left of F. The Lawyer is second to the right of the Coloumnist. The Professor is an immediate neighbour of the Engineer. G is second to the right of the Chartered Accountant. Who is sitting second to the right of E ?
Options
- AThe Lawyer
- BG
- CThe Engineer
- DF
Correct answer
B. G
Step-by-step solution
To solve the circular arrangement for the eight people (()) facing the center, we map their positions and professions:
- K is our reference. F sits second to his left. M is second to his right.
- H is the Scientist and is an immediate neighbor of K. Given the three-person gap between the Scientist (H) and E, E must be opposite H.
- L is the Financial Analyst (immediate left of F).
- The Engineer is one seat away from E. Placing the Engineer next to M allows the Columnist to be to his immediate right (next to H).
- G and J are together but are not Engineers. This places G (second to the right of the Chartered Accountant) and J in the remaining spots.
Following the circle clockwise: (\mathbf{E} ).
G sits second to the right of E. Correct Option: (B).
