sitting arrangement (Question:164626.2)

this puzzle is wrong

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Study the following information and answer the questions given below.


Eight people E, F, G, H, J, K, L and M are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre. Each of them is of a different profession -. Chartered Accountant, Columnist. Doctor, Engineer, Financial Analyst, Lawyer, Professor and Scientist, but not necessarily in - the same order. F is sitting second to the left to K. The Scientist is an immediate neighbour of K. There are only three people between the Scientist and E.


Only one person sits between the Engineer and E. The Columnist is on the immediate right of the Engineer. M is second to the right of K. H is the Scientist. G and J are immediate neighbours of each other. Neither G nor J is an Engineer. The Financial Analyst is on the immediate left of F. The Lawyer is second to the right of the Columnist. The Professor is an immediate neighbour of the Engineer. G is second to the right of the Chartered Accountant.

Three of the following four are alike in a certain way based on the given arrangement and hence form a group. Which of the following does not belong to that group?
Options:
A) Chartered Accountant – H
B) M - Doctor 
C) J - Engineer 
D) Financial Analyst - L
Solution:

Ans: (c)

Eight people E, F, G, H, J, K, L and M are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. Each of them has different profession.

F is sitting second to the left of K.



M is second to the right of K.


G and J are immediate neighbours. The Financial Analyst is on the immediate left of F.


H is the Scientist and the Scientist is an immediate member of K.

At this time we have two options either the Scientist is to the immediate left or immediate right.

Now, we start with both the options



Now, there are only three people between the Scientist and E.

In Case I 


Only one person sits between Engineer and E, so


Columnist is on the immediate right of Engineer.


Lawyer is second to the right of the Columnist.

So, M is Columnist.


Professor is immediate neighbour of the Engineer.

So, K is professor.


G and J are immediate neighbour of each other and G is second to the right of Charted Accountant, so the figure becomes


The only profession left is Doctor, so F is Doctor.

The only person left is L, so L is Engineer.

Now, finally the person and their profession are


Now, we answer the following question.

J and Engineer are not diagonally opposite.
