Direction : Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:

Eight persons are working in three different cities i.e. Delhi, Pune, Hyderabad. At least two persons are working in a city. There are four married couples of two generations. Number of males and females are equal in each city.
Note- Married couples are not working in same city. They have different designations i.e. GM, AGM, CEO, Manager, Assistant Manager, PO, Clerk, Sub staff (these are in decreasing order of seniority means GM is senior most and Sub staff is junior most person).
Only three persons are senior than the only son of B. B doesn’t work in Pune. E is sister in law of G who is junior most person. H is son in law of D, who is immediate senior of A. F is spouse of C and both are not working in Delhi. There are as many posts above father in law of A as below sibling of A. Only C and H are working in Hyderabad. Only PO and Sub staff are working in Delhi. Spouse of E is not working in Delhi. G is daughter in law of B who is spouse of D. F is senior than H and junior than C.

Which of the following is the designation of father of G?

  1. A.

    GM

  2. B.

    AGM

  3. C.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Concept

In a designation + family + city puzzle, lock the rigid anchors first: a stated rank position converts directly to a designation (e.g. "only three are senior than X" fixes X as the 4th post), the junior-most person sits at the bottom of the ladder, and "only X and Y work in city Z" closes that city. Crucially, with "two generations and four married couples" you must decide WHICH couples are the parent generation and which are the children: a single in-law link (daughter-in-law, son-in-law) tells you a child of one couple married a child of another. Only after the family tree is fixed do you trace the asked relation to the actual person and read off that person's designation.

Fixing the family (two generations, four couples)

  1. B is the spouse of D, and G is the daughter-in-law of B, so G married a son of B and D. The only son of B is, by the seniority clue, the 4th post = Manager; the only person who fits is A. So A = Manager and A is married to G.

  2. H is the son-in-law of D, so H married a daughter of B and D. A's sibling (a daughter of B and D) is E, and E is the sister-in-law of G - consistent with E being A's sister. So H married E.

  3. That leaves F and C as the SECOND parent couple (F is the spouse of C). Their children are the two people who married into the B-D family from outside: G (who married A) and H (who married E). So B-D and F-C are the two parent couples, and the children cross-marry: A-G and E-H.

  4. Therefore the father of G is F (G is the daughter of the F-C couple, and F is the male parent).

Fixing the designations

  1. Ladder, senior to junior: GM, AGM, CEO, Manager, Assistant Manager, PO, Clerk, Sub staff.

  2. G is junior-most, so G = Sub staff. A = Manager (shown above). D is the immediate senior of A (Manager), so D = CEO.

  3. Only C and H work in Hyderabad and each city needs equal males and females, so that pair is one male + one female. H is male (he married E), so C is female and F (spouse of C) is male.

  4. Only PO and Sub staff work in Delhi. B is not in Pune and cannot be in Hyderabad (that city is exactly C and H), so B is in Delhi, forcing B = PO; Delhi then holds B (PO) and G (Sub staff). The remaining persons (A, D, E, F) sit in Pune, keeping the genders balanced.

  5. Remaining ranks are GM, AGM, Assistant Manager, Clerk. The order "C senior than F senior than H" plus the balance clue - posts above the father-in-law of A equal posts below the sibling of A - pin it down: father-in-law of A is F and sibling of A is E, so (posts above F) = (posts below E). Testing the order C > F > H, this is satisfied only by C = GM, F = AGM, H = Assistant Manager, E = Clerk.

Result

The father of G is F, and F's designation is AGM. So the correct answer is AGM.

Each city has equal males and females and at least two persons (Delhi 1+1, Pune 2+2, Hyderabad 1+1), no married couple shares a city, only PO and Sub staff sit in Delhi, and posts above F (one, GM) equal posts below E (one, Sub staff) - every clue holds.
