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.

MGR

Solution :

To find A's designation in the organization, we can analyze the given information step-by-step:

Step 1: List the designations in decreasing order of seniority
According to the problem, there are seven designations ranked from senior-most to junior-most as follows:
1. MD (Senior-most)
2. CEO
3. SR. MGR
4. MGR
5. PO
6. Clerk
7. Typist (Junior-most)

Step 2: Determine A's position using the given conditions
We are given that the number of persons senior to A is the same as the number of persons junior to A.
Let N be the total number of designations, which is 7.
For A to have an equal number of senior and junior designations, A must occupy the exact middle position in the hierarchy.

We can calculate the middle position using the formula:
Middle Position=N+12=7+12=4

Step 3: Match the position to the designation
Looking at our ranked list, the 4th position from the top is MGR.
Therefore, there are 3 positions senior to A (MD, CEO, SR. MGR) and 3 positions junior to A (PO, Clerk, Typist). This perfectly satisfies the condition.

Thus, A's designation in the organization is MGR.
