Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below.
Eight colleagues—J, K, L, M, N, O, P and Q are sitting around a circular table facing the center but not necessarily in the same order. Each one of them holds a different post—Inspector, Accountant, Clerk, Goods guard, Safaiwala, Trackman, Pilot and Fireman.
J sits third to the right of the Fireman, and only two people sit between the Fireman and Q. The Safaiwala and the Accountant are immediate neighbours. Neither J nor Q is a Safaiwala or an Accountant. The Safaiwala is not an immediate neighbour of the Fireman. The Inspector sits second to the left of N. N is not an immediate neighbour of Q. The Inspector is an immediate neighbour of both the Trackman and the Pilot. The Pilot sits third to the right of K. K is not the Safaiwala. L sits to the immediate right of the Clerk. J is not the Clerk. O is not an immediate neighbour of J. P is not an immediate neighbour of the Inspector.
Who among the following is the Goods guard of the company?
Correct Answer:
B. J
Explanation:
To determine the Goods guard, we can map the positions of the eight colleagues (J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q) around the circular table: - J is third to the right of the Fireman.
- Two people sit between the Fireman and Q.
- Since the Inspector is an immediate neighbour of both the Trackman and the Pilot, they form a three-person block (Trackman-Inspector-Pilot or vice versa).
- The Pilot sits third to the right of K.
- The Inspector sits second to the left of N.
- The Safaiwala and Accountant are neighbors, but cannot be J, Q, or next to the Fireman.
- L is to the immediate right of the Clerk.By placing the Fireman at position 1, J is at position 4. Through logical elimination of the remaining roles and constraints: - K is the Fireman.
- J is the Pilot.
- O is the Inspector.
- N is the Trackman.
- L is the Goods guard.
- P is the Clerk.
- Q is the Accountant.
- M is the Safaiwala.L is the Goods guard of the company.
