Discussion
Four of the following five are alike in a certain way based on the given arrangement and hence from a group. Which of the following does not belong to that group?
Answer: C
Correct answer: J - Engineer
All eight face the centre, so each person’s left is the next seat clockwise and their right the next seat anticlockwise.
Place K; F sits two to K’s left and M two to K’s right. H, the Scientist, must be beside K, and E four seats from H - and of the two ways of doing that, only one lets the Engineer sit two seats from E without being G or J, who must be neighbours. The Columnist then sits on the Engineer’s right, the Lawyer two to the Columnist’s right, the Financial Analyst on F’s left, the Professor beside the Engineer, and the Chartered Accountant two seats from G.
Clockwise the table reads K (Professor) → H (Scientist) → F (Doctor) → G (Financial Analyst) → J (Lawyer) → E (Chartered Accountant) → M (Columnist) → L (Engineer).
In Chartered Accountant–H, M–Doctor, Financial Analyst–L and Lawyer–K the two named sit directly opposite each other, four seats apart. J and the Engineer are only three seats apart, so that pair does not belong.
