What is the position of L with respect to the Scientist ?
Answer: B
Correct answer: Second to the right
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).
The Scientist is H. Counting two seats to his right - anticlockwise - gives K and then L.
