G is second to the right of the Chartered Accountant. Who amongst the following is the Professor?
Options
- AF
- BL
- CM
- DK
Correct answer
D. K
Step-by-step solution
First, we establish H (Scientist) and K as neighbors. Since three people sit between the Scientist and E, E must be positioned directly opposite H. Next, we place F second to the left of K, while M sits second to the right of K. L (Financial Analyst) is positioned to the immediate left of F.
The Engineer sits one seat away from E, and since the Professor must be an immediate neighbor of the Engineer, this configuration identifies (\mathbf{K}) as the Professor.
The correct option is (D) K.
