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.
Which of the following combinations of manager and domain is correct?
Correct Answer :
M – Biotech
Solution :
The correct combination is M – Biotech.
Let's step-by-step analyze the given clues to deduce the positions and domains of the seven project managers from left (Position 1) to right (Position 7):
1. Position of M & Biotech: The clue states that the manager overseeing Biotech sits 4th from the left end, and M oversees Biotech. Thus, Position 4 is M (Biotech).
2. Position of J & Edtech: Two managers sit between M and J, with J sitting to the left of M. Counting two positions to the left of Position 4 places J at Position 1. J oversees Edtech. Thus, Position 1 is J (Edtech).
3. Cleantech: The manager overseeing Cleantech sits to the immediate right of J (Position 1). So, Position 2 oversees Cleantech.
4. Position of Q & Aerospace: Q sits at the extreme right end of the row (Position 7) and oversees Aerospace. Thus, Position 7 is Q (Aerospace).
5. Robotics: The manager overseeing Robotics sits second to the left of Q (Position 7), which is Position 5. Thus, Position 5 oversees Robotics.
6. Direct statement check: The problem statement directly provides that M oversees Biotech.
Now, let's verify each option:
• K – Fintech: Incorrect (L oversees Fintech).
• J – Cleantech: Incorrect (J oversees Edtech).
• M – Biotech: Correct (as stated directly in the question).
• Q – Agritech: Incorrect (Q oversees Aerospace).
• P – Aerospace: Incorrect (Q oversees Aerospace).
Therefore, the correct combination of manager and domain is M – Biotech.
