Given: Nine persons – R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z are designated at nine different designations – Chief General Manager (CGM), General Manager (GM), Assistant General Manager (AGM), Chief Manager (CM), Senior Manager (SM), Manager, Assistant Manager (AM), Probationary Officer (PO) and Clerk, but not necessarily in the same order.
The order of the designations is in decreasing order of seniority such that CGM is the seniormost designation and Clerk is the junior-most.
- W is designated four persons senior to R.
- S is designated two persons junior to R.
- Y is designated immediately senior to W.
Here, there are two cases, i.e. Case 1 and case 2.
| Designations | Person (Case 1) | Person (Case 2) |
|---|
| CGM | Y | |
| GM | W | Y |
| AGM | | W |
| CM | | |
| SM | | |
| Manager | R | |
| AM | | R |
| PO | S | |
| Clerk | | S |
- Three persons are designated between Y and X.
- Z is designated junior to AM.
| Designations | Person (Case 1) | Person (Case 2) |
|---|
| CGM | Y | |
| GM | W | Y |
| AGM | | W |
| CM | | |
| SM | X | |
| Manager | R | X |
| AM | | R |
| PO | S | Z |
| Clerk | Z | S |
- More than four persons are designated between Z and T.
- V is designated junior to U but not immediately junior.
Case 2 gets eliminated because there is no place for V and U. So, the final arrangement:
| Designations | Person (Case 1) |
|---|
| CGM | Y |
| GM | W |
| AGM | T |
| CM | U |
| SM | X |
| Manager | R |
| AM | V |
| PO | S |
| Clerk | Z |
R is related to Chief Manager, The first person given is two persons junior to the designation given.
Hence, the correct answer is ‘Chief Manager’.
