DIRECTIONS for the question: Read the information given below and answ...
Understanding the Seating Arrangement
To analyze the seating arrangement, we first note the following:
- There are two rows: Row 1 (A, B, C, D) facing South and Row 2 (P, Q, R, S) facing North.
- We need to determine the banks associated with each person based on the clues provided.
Key Clues and Deductions
1. C's Position: C sits second to the right of the person from Bank of Maharashtra.
2. R's Neighbors: R is next to the person who faces Bank of Maharashtra, indicating that R is in Row 2.
3. PNB's Position: There is one person between R and the person from PNB.
4. Canara Bank and PNB: The neighbor of PNB faces Canara Bank.
5. UCO and Oriental Bank: The person from UCO faces the person from Oriental Bank.
6. Q and Dena Bank: Q faces the Dena Bank person.
7. A's Position: The person facing S is to the immediate left of A.
8. B's Position: B is not on the ends.
Identifying the Group
From these clues, we can determine relationships and positions of each person with respect to their banks:
- Row 1: A, B, C, D
- Row 2: P, Q, R, S
After piecing together the clues, we find the banks associated with each person.
Identifying the Odd One Out
Among the options provided:
- a) Canara Bank
- b) R
- c) Syndicate Bank
- d) Q
To identify which one does not belong, we observe:
- Canara Bank, Syndicate Bank, and R are associated with specific bank placements.
- Q is only a person and not a bank, making it different from the others.
Conclusion
Thus, the answer is option D (Q), as it does not represent a bank, but rather an individual in the arrangement.
