Directions (91-95): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
Seven persons ( A-G) work in the same organization on seven different designations (MD, CEO, SR. MGR, MGR, PO, Clerk and Typist ) but not necessarily in the same order. The designations are in the decreasing order such that MD is the senior-most position and Typist is the junior-most position.
The numbers of persons senior to A is same as the numbers of persons junior to A. B is junior to A and just senior to C. E is junior to A. The numbers of persons junior to C is same as the numbers of persons designated between B and D. At most one person between G and F. F is not the senior most.
If A is related to PO, G is related to CEO in the similar way C is related to ___.
Correct Answer :
Typist
Solution :
To solve this puzzle, let us first list the seven designations in the decreasing order of seniority, along with their positions (1 to 7, where 1 is the senior-most and 7 is the junior-most):
1. MD (Senior-most)
2. CEO
3. SR. MGR
4. MGR
5. PO
6. Clerk
7. Typist (Junior-most)
Now, let us place the seven persons (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) step-by-step according to the given clues:
Step 1: Determine the position of A.
The clue states: "The numbers of persons senior to A is same as the numbers of persons junior to A."
Since there are 7 positions in total, A must occupy the exact middle position.
Therefore, A is the MGR (Position 4).
Step 2: Determine the positions of B, C, and E.
We are told that: "B is junior to A and just senior to C" and "E is junior to A."
The positions junior to A (Position 4) are 5 (PO), 6 (Clerk), and 7 (Typist). Since B and C are consecutive with B being senior to C, there are two possibilities:
• Case 1: B is at 5 (PO) and C is at 6 (Clerk). Since E is junior to A, E must be at 7 (Typist).
• Case 2: B is at 6 (Clerk) and C is at 7 (Typist). In this case, E must be at 5 (PO).
Let us evaluate these cases using the next clue.
Step 3: Analyze the relation between C, B, and D.
The clue states: "The numbers of persons junior to C is same as the numbers of persons designated between B and D."
• In Case 2: C is at 7 (Typist), so the number of persons junior to C is 0. This means there must be 0 persons designated between B (6) and D. Thus, D must be adjacent to B, which means D would have to be at 5 or 7. But 5 is occupied by E and 7 is occupied by C. Therefore, Case 2 is invalid.
• In Case 1: C is at 6 (Clerk), so the number of persons junior to C is 1 (which is E at 7). This means there must be exactly 1 person designated between B (5) and D. Since B is at 5, D must be at 3 (SR. MGR) so that there is exactly 1 person (A at 4) between them. This case is valid.
Thus, we have:
3. SR. MGR = D
4. MGR = A
5. PO = B
6. Clerk = C
7. Typist = E
Step 4: Place G and F.
The remaining designations are 1 (MD) and 2 (CEO), which must be filled by G and F.
The clues state: "At most one person between G and F" and "F is not the senior most."
Since F cannot be the senior-most (Position 1), F must be at 2 (CEO) and G must be at 1 (MD). This also satisfies the condition that there is at most one person between them (there are 0 persons between them).
Final Arrangement:
1. MD = G
2. CEO = F
3. SR. MGR = D
4. MGR = A
5. PO = B
6. Clerk = C
7. Typist = E
Step 5: Apply the relationship to find the answer.
We are given the relationship analogy:
• A is related to PO: A (MGR) is related to the designation immediately junior to it, which is PO.
• G is related to CEO: G (MD) is related to the designation immediately junior to it, which is CEO.
• C is related to: In the same way, C (Clerk) must be related to the designation immediately junior to it, which is Typist.
