Indian Institute of Foreign Trade 2012 Solved Paper

We are given that:-
The moderator must sit in the middle, in seat #3.
Gaj, who is attorney, sits in seat #4.
The writer and the attorney sit on either side of the moderator
Thus, the writer mus sit at seat #2.
The attorney cannot sit next to the explorer
Thus, the explorer sits at seat #1 and the pilot sits at seat #5.
Lalit is the pilot
Hema, who is not the moderator, sits between Kumar and Jaya.
The moderator does not sit next to Jaya or Lalit
Thus, the arrangement is as shown:-

Seat Number	Name	Profession
1	Jaya	Explorer
2	Hema	Writer
3	Kumar	Moderator
4	Gaj	Attorney
5	Lalit	Pilot

Thus, Jaya sits at seat #1
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
