Question Details

Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below.

Seven project managers—J, K, L, M, N, P, and Q—sit in a single row facing north. Each manager oversees a different domain: Edtech, Cleantech, Fintech, Biotech, Robotics, Agritech, and Aerospace, though not necessarily in that order.

The manager overseeing Biotech sits fourth from the left end of the row. M oversees Biotech. Two managers sit between M and J, with J sitting to the left of M. J oversees Edtech. The manager overseeing Cleantech sits to the immediate right of J. K sits to the immediate left of L, who oversees Fintech. Q sits at the extreme right end of the row and oversees Aerospace. The manager overseeing Robotics sits second to the left of Q. N sits somewhere to the right of P.

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option E

M

E

Solution :

The correct answer is M.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Direct Analysis from the Problem Statement:
The given passage explicitly specifies the domain for project manager M:
"The manager overseeing Biotech sits fourth from the left end of the row. M oversees Biotech."
This directly confirms that project manager M oversees the Biotech domain.

2. Complete Seating Arrangement Derivation:
Let the seven positions from left to right be numbered 1 through 7.
- Position 4: M (Biotech)
- Position 1: J (Edtech) — Two managers sit between M (position 4) and J, with J sitting to the left of M.
- Position 2: Cleantech — The manager overseeing Cleantech sits to the immediate right of J (position 1).
- Position 7: Q (Aerospace) — Q sits at the extreme right end of the row.
- Position 5: Robotics — Sits second to the left of Q (position 7).
- Positions 2 and 3: K sits to the immediate left of L (who oversees Fintech). Thus, K is at position 2 (Cleantech) and L is at position 3 (Fintech).
- Positions 5 and 6: N sits to the right of P. Thus, P is at position 5 (Robotics) and N is at position 6 (Agritech).

3. Final Seating Row Summary (Left to Right):
1. J — Edtech
2. K — Cleantech
3. L — Fintech
4. M — Biotech
5. P — Robotics
6. N — Agritech
7. Q — Aerospace

Therefore, project manager M oversees Biotech.
