As per the given arrangement, HR is related to Signs and CR is related to Hero in a certain way. To which of the following is Production related to in the same way?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step reasoning:

1. From “Only two persons have less experience than K” we get K is at position $3$ (third least experienced). Thus department order by experience is: $1$ Admin, $2$ Production, $3$ Marketing (K), $4$ HR, $5$ Finance, $6$ R&D, $7$ CR.

2. “P works in R&D” => P is at position $6$.

3. “The person who works in HR is more experienced than both L and N” and “N is not the least experienced” imply L and N occupy positions $1$ and $2$. Since N is not least, N is $2$ (Production) and L is $1$ (Administration).

4. “The one who likes Wanted has more experience than K but less than one who likes Jumanji” and “Wanted does not work in Finance” and “P neither likes Wanted nor Jumanji” force Wanted to be at position $4$ (HR) and Jumanji at position $7$ (CR).

5. “J, who is more experienced than K, likes Twilight.” J must be at position $5$ (Finance) and likes Twilight.

6. “M is more experienced than J.” So M must be at position $7$ (CR) — consistent with Jumanji at $7$ (M likes Jumanji).

7. The only remaining position for Hero is $6$ (R&D). Since P is at $6$, P likes Hero. This also satisfies “Production (pos $2$) is less experienced than the person who likes Hero”.

8. Remaining movies for positions $1,2,3$ are Gladiator, Dread, Signs. Clue “L does not like Dread” eliminates Dread for $1$, so L at $1$ likes Gladiator, N at $2$ likes Dread, and K at $3$ likes Signs. This also satisfies “The one who likes Signs has more experience than N”.

9. The question states: “HR is related to Signs and CR is related to Hero in a certain way.” In the completed arrangement HR is at $4$ while Signs is at $3$ (one position below), and CR is at $7$ while Hero is at $6$ (also one position below). Thus the relation is: each department is related to the movie liked by the person immediately below it in experience (i.e., one rank lower).

10. Applying the same relation to Production (position $2$) means Production is related to the movie liked by the person at position $1$, which is Gladiator.
