G - pink, E - blue
D - green, G - pink
G - blue, E - pink
E - orange, M - red

Correct answer: G - blue, E - pink

Solution

The question asks for the new department assignment after swapping the departments of M and the purple-shirted person with E and G. Once the swap is applied to the original arrangement, G and E are the persons who end up in operations, with blue and pink shirts respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is G - blue, E - pink.
