The one who is a Operating wears Orange trouser. O, whose designation is higher than that of P, wears Black trouser. The one who wears Pink trouser is three ranks higher than the one who wears Orange trouser. S does not belong to the top three ranks. R is CEO and wears Beige color trouser. The trouser worn by S is of Grey color. Q is 2 ranks lower than R. The one having 3rd lowest designation wears Brown trouser. Neither M nor N wears Brown trouser. SM wears Blue trouser

    D Either (a) or (d) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    1. The one who is a Operating wears Orange trouser. 2. The one who wears Pink trouser is three ranks higher than the one who wears Orange trouser. 3. R is CEO and wears Beige color trouser. SM wears Blue trouser. 4. O, whose designation is higher than that of P and he wears Black trouser. Q is 2 ranks lower than R. 5. The one having 3rd lowest designation wears Brown trouser. Neither M nor N wears Brown trouser. 6. S does not belong to the top three ranks. The trouser worn by S is of Grey color. So, Q must be the HOD of the bank. Also, the one who is AM wears Brown color trouser. Now, S must be the workers as O wears Black trouser and O’s rank is higher than that of P so, P must be the AM. Either M or N works as SM or Operating. The final arrangement is as follows:
