Question
J, P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are 4 married couples sitting in a circle facing the centre. The profession of the males within the group are Lecturer, Lawyer, Doctor and Scientist. Among the males only R (the Lawyer) and V (the Scientist) are sitting together. Each man is seated besides his wife. U, the wife of the Lecturer is seated second to the right of V. T is seated between U and V. P is the wife of the Doctor. Q is male but not the Doctor. S is a male.Which of the following is P's position with respect to S?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to arrange the couples and their professions according to the given conditions.
- R (Lawyer) and V (Scientist) are sitting together.
- Each man is seated besides his wife.
- U, the wife of the Lecturer is seated second to the right of V.
- T is seated between U and V.
- P is the wife of the Doctor.
- Q is male but not the Doctor.
- S is a male.
From these conditions, we can deduce the following:
- Since U is the wife of the Lecturer and is seated second to the right of V, V cannot be the Lecturer. Therefore, the Lecturer must be S, as he is the only other male left.
- Since V is not the Lecturer and we know he is the Scientist, T, who is seated between U and V, must be the wife of V, the Scientist.
- Since R is sitting next to his wife and he is not sitting next to U or T, he must be sitting next to J. Therefore, J is the wife of R, the Lawyer.
- Since P is the wife of the Doctor and the only males left are Q and S, and we know that Q is not the Doctor, S must be the Doctor. Therefore, P is the wife of S, the Doctor.
- This leaves Q to be the husband of U, the Lecturer.
So, the arrangement is as follows:
- S (Doctor) is married to P.
- Q (Lecturer) is married to U.
- R (Lawyer) is married to J.
- V (Scientist) is married to T.
Now, to answer the question "Which of the following is P's position with respect to S?", we need to know the exact seating arrangement, which is not provided in the question. However, we do know that P is sitting next to S as they are married.
