Six people — A, B, C, D, E, and F — were part of a company in various posts. They were posted in the cities Bombay, Nainital, Chennai, Jaipur, Kolkata, and Allahabad. The ranks of the posts are Probationary Officer, Manager, Chief Manager, Divisional Manager, and Chief Executive Officer, with CEO being the highest post. It is known that E was ranked just above the person posted in Chennai. F was not posted in Jaipur. There were two people ranked between the person working in Kolkata and A, where the former was above the latter. C, who was in Nainital, was ranked just below the Chief Manager. The person posted in Allahabad was ranked higher than the person posted in Jaipur but lower than the person posted in Bombay. Only one person was ranked between B and D, where B was ranked higher than D. E was not a Divisional Manager. Who sits immediately below the person who works in Bombay?

1. B
2. D
3. E
4. C

Correct answer: E

Solution

Using the clues, the rank and city assignments can be arranged consistently so that Bombay is above Allahabad, which is above Jaipur. The person immediately below the Bombay-posted person is E.
