Which of the following pairs represent the respective people who have more experience than J and less experience than K?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step reasoning:

1. Label experience positions $1$ (least, Administration) to $7$ (most, CR). Departments map to positions: $1$ Admin, $2$ Production, $3$ Marketing, $4$ HR, $5$ Finance, $6$ R&D, $7$ CR.

2. "Only two persons have less experience than K" ⇒ $K$ is at position $3$.

3. "P works in R&D" ⇒ $P$ is at position $6$.

4. "HR is more experienced than both L and N" and "N is not the least" ⇒ L must be $1$ and N must be $2$ (both less than HR at $4$ or above).

5. Positions now: $1:L$, $2:N$(Production), $3:K$(Marketing), $6:P$(R&D). Remaining positions $4,5,7$ go to O, J, M.

6. "J is more experienced than K" and "M is more experienced than J" ⇒ J cannot be $7$ (then M>J impossible). Try J at $4$ or $5$.

7. If J at $4$, placing M at $5$ or $7$ leads to impossibility for the "Wanted" movie (Wanted must be >K and not in Finance). Testing shows no valid slot for Wanted. Hence J must be at $5$ (Finance), M at $7$ (CR), and O at $4$ (HR).

8. Assign movies using remaining clues:
   - Wanted is >K ($>3$) and not in Finance ($
e5$) and less than Jumanji. Only feasible slot for Wanted is position $4$ (O).
   - P (position $6$) neither likes Wanted nor Jumanji, so Jumanji must be at $7$ (M).
   - Signs must be more experienced than N (position $2$), and remaining movies placed yield Signs at $3$ (K).
   - Production at $2$ is less experienced than the person who likes Hero, and K does not like Hero, so Hero must be at $6$ (P).
   - Remaining movies give L at $1$ = Gladiator and N at $2$ = Dread. J at $5$ = Twilight.

9. Final arrangement (position: person — movie):
   $1$: L — Gladiator
   $2$: N — Dread
   $3$: K — Signs
   $4$: O — Wanted
   $5$: J — Twilight
   $6$: P — Hero
   $7$: M — Jumanji

10. The question asks for the pair of people who are (respectively) more experienced than J and less experienced than K. From the final layout: M (position $7$) is more experienced than J (position $5$), and N (position $2$) is less experienced than K (position $3$). Thus the correct pair is (M, N).
