VI. The lawyer sits sixth.

VII. The Accountant sits to the immediate left of the Commissioner.

If in addition to the changes described in above question the HomeMaker and the Doctor, agree to interchange places, which of the following will be true?

Options:

B) Kittu will be the only person to the right of Lallu

C) There will be an equal number of persons to the left and to the right of Jiya

D) There will be only one person to the right of Nilu and to the left of Kittu

E) The first and last person will be the same as before

Solution:

Ans: (C)

From statement III, IV and IX, we can get the following arrangement.

Position	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Name	-	-	-	-	Nilu	-	-
Profession	-	-	Home Maker	-	Student	Lawyer	-

Now, from Statements IV and VII,

Position	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Name	-	-	-	-	Nilu	-	Mannu
Profession	Accountant	Commissioner	Home Maker	-	Student	Lawyer	-

Jiya must be at position 4 and from statement VIII, Omi, Pinki and Kittu are together. So. they are at positions 1, 2 and 3. respectively. The final arrangement will be as following

Position	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Name	Omi	Pinki	Kittu	Jiya	Nilu	Lallu	Mannu
Profession	Accountant	Commissioner	Home Maker	Social worker	Student	Lawyer	Doctor

Order according to above question is: Omi, Pinki, Kittu, Jiya, Nilu, Lallu, Mannu

After interchanging the places by Home Maker and the Doctor the new order will be as following:

Omi, Pinki ,Mannu, Jiya, Nilu, Lallu, Kittu.

So, There will be an equal number of persons to the left and to the right of Jiya
