Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
1. Based on the clues, position 6 (right end) is the Boxer. Two persons sit between Boxer and Lawyer, so Lawyer is at position 3. 2. F4 is an Engineer and sits 3rd to the right of F3. F5 is F4's neighbor. Placing F3 at 2 makes F4 sit at 5. F5 then must be at 4. F6 (Manager) takes position 1, leaving F1 as the Lawyer at 3. 3. One person sits between F2 and Cricketer, and one between Cricketer and Doctor. Setting Cricketer as F5 (4), Doctor as F3 (2), and F2 as Boxer (6) perfectly satisfies all conditions. The final sequence is: 1-F6(Manager), 2-F3(Doctor), 3-F1(Lawyer), 4-F5(Cricketer), 5-F4(Engineer), 6-F2(Boxer). Thus, Option D is correct. Final Answer: Option D
