Correct answer
C. C and B
Step-by-step solution
To determine who sits between the persons working for the Marketing and Investment Banking departments when counting from the left of the Marketing employee, we use the established arrangement:
- Fixed Positions: G (Marketing) faces the centre, while A (Investment Banking) sits two places away.
- The Chain: Counting clockwise from G (to his left), the sequence is G (Marketing) → C → () (Finance) () (Investment Banking).
- Result: C and B occupy the two seats between these departments.
Answer: (C) C and B
