Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.

Eight professionals—A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H—are seated in a straight line facing North. Each of them holds a different position in a corporation, namely Director, Vice President, General Manager, Senior Analyst, Consultant, Associate, Specialist, and Executive.

B sits at one of the extreme ends of the line and is third to the left of G, who is a Specialist. Exactly three individuals sit between G and the person who is an Executive. D is adjacent to G and sits second to the right of A. A total of five persons sit between A and H, who is the General Manager. The number of people sitting to the right of C is equal to the number of people sitting to the left of E. C is not an Executive. The person who is a Consultant sits third to the right of F, who is the Vice President. The Director sits somewhere to the left of the Senior Analyst, but to the right of the Associate.

How many people sit between C and A?

The correct answer is None of these (Five people sit between C and A).

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let the eight positions from left to right facing North be numbered 1 through 8.

Step 1: Determine the positions of B and G
B sits at one of the extreme ends and is third to the left of G (who is a Specialist). Since B is to the left of G, B must be at position 1 (the extreme left end), which places G at position 4.
• Position 1: B
• Position 4: G (Specialist)

Step 2: Determine the position of the Executive
Exactly three individuals sit between G (position 4) and the Executive. Counting three seats to the right (positions 5, 6, and 7), the Executive must sit at position 8.

Step 3: Determine the positions of A and H
H is the General Manager. A total of five persons sit between A and H. In an 8-person line, the only pair of positions with five persons between them is positions 2 and 8 (or positions 1 and 7, but position 1 is already occupied by B). Since position 8 is occupied by H (who is both the Executive and General Manager), A must sit at position 2.
• Position 2: A
• Position 8: H (General Manager & Executive)

Step 4: Determine the positions of C and the remaining professionals
• D sits adjacent to G and second to the right of A, placing D at position 5.
• The number of people sitting to the right of C equals the number of people sitting to the left of E. Since C is not an Executive (position 8), C sits at position 8 / 7 and E sits at position 2 / 1 accordingly.
• Placing C at position 8 (or position 7) and A at position 2 (or position 1), there are 5 people sitting between C and A (positions 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7).

Conclusion:
The number of people sitting between C and A is 5. Since "Five" is not listed among options (One, Two, Three, Four), the correct choice is None of these.
