Nine persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I are working in a company at different designations such as CEO, Manager, HR, Supervisor, Team Lead, Executive, Accountant, Clerk, and Peon, but not necessarily in the same order. The designations are in descending order, such that CEO is the senior-most and Peon is the junior-most designation. D is four designations senior to G. G is designated immediately senior to B, who is not Peon. Two persons are designated between A and E. E is senior to A. F is designated junior to A but not immediately junior. F is not designated as the junior-most person. I is designated senior to C and H. I is not designated as HR. H is designated junior to C. If all the persons are designated in alphabetical order from senior-most to junior-most designation, then the position of how many persons remains the same?

1. Two
2. Four
3. One
4. Three

Correct answer: Two

Solution

The clues fix a unique seniority order of the nine persons. When this order is compared with the alphabetical order from senior-most to junior-most designation, only two persons occupy the same position in both arrangements.
