Comprehension 1:
Eight friends, namely Aman, Bhavya, Charan, Divya, Eshan, Farah, Gauri, and Harsh, attend a roundtable meeting where everyone sits facing the center. Each person represents a different state and works in a different professional field. The states represented are Punjab, Kerala, Assam, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Rajasthan, and Bihar. The professions include Lawyer, Architect, Journalist, Doctor, Engineer, Artist, Professor, and Banker. No two adjacent individuals share the same profession category (for example, Lawyer cannot sit next to Architect, both being from the same logical category such as “Licensed Professionals,” but the categorization is not revealed to the participants).
Aman sits third to the right of the representative from Rajasthan. The person from Kerala sits opposite the Professor. Harsh, who is neither the Doctor nor the Artist, sits second to the left of the representative of Punjab. The Doctor sits exactly between Divya and Gauri when counted clockwise. Bhavya, who represents Bihar, sits immediately to the right of the Journalist. Farah sits exactly opposite Charan, but neither of them represents Gujarat. The Architect is seated immediately between the representatives of Assam and Tamil Nadu. The person representing Odisha sits somewhere to the immediate left of Aman.
Divya, who is not from Tamil Nadu, sits next to the Engineer. Eshan sits two places to the right of the Banker. The representative from Gujarat sits somewhere between the Lawyer and the Artist. The Professor is not from Assam, and the Engineer is not from Rajasthan. Only one person sits between Harsh and the representative of Tamil Nadu. The Artist is seated two places to the left of the representative from Kerala.
