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. What is the position of L with respect to the Scientist?
Options
- AThird to the left
- BSecond to the right
- CSecond to the left
- DThird to the right
Correct answer
B. Second to the right
Step-by-step solution
To determine L's position relative to the Scientist ((), we map the circular arrangement:
- H (Scientist) and K are neighbors.
- Three people sit between H and E, placing E directly opposite H.
- F is second to the left of K, and L (Financial Analyst) is to the immediate left of F.
- Following the circle clockwise from (\mathbf{H}), the sequence is (\mathbf{H} ).
This places (\mathbf{L}) two seats away from (\mathbf{H}) in the clockwise direction. Therefore, (\mathbf{L}) is second to the right of the Scientist.
Correct Option: (B).
