Twenty-one individuals hold different designations in a bank: CEO, MD, DGM, AGM, Manager, and Clerk. The hierarchy from highest to lowest is CEO MD DGM AGM Manager Clerk. The number of persons at any designation is exactly one more than the number at the immediate senior designation. For example, if there are 3 AGMs, then there are 4 Managers, and so on.

Given:
- P, T, and W share the same designation.
- S is senior to W.
- X is senior to U, who is not an AGM.
- R and V share the same designation.
- Neither B nor H is a Manager, but both share the same designation.
- D, E, and H share the same designation, which is junior to Q and T.
- Q is junior to U.
- The number of persons senior to Q and T is the same.
- X is junior to N but senior to R.
- A, L, and M share the same designation.
- W is not a Manager.
- R is neither Manager nor Clerk.
- Z and Y are senior to G and O.

After transfer to departments HR, Marketing, and Legal, the following rules apply:

I. No transfer for the top two posts; they become leaders of HR, Marketing, and Legal respectively in alphabetical order.
II. Persons whose names start with a consonant before 'M' alphabetically transfer to HR.
III. Persons whose names start with a consonant after 'M' alphabetically transfer to Marketing.
IV. The rest go to Legal.

**Question:** Who among the following persons are designated as Managers?
