**Question:** What is the profession of the person sitting second to the right of S?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. From the clues, Q is the Banker and sits opposite P.

2. D is the Engineer and mother of Q; she sits opposite S, who is a Doctor and brother of Q.

3. A is the father of Q (female), and does not sit near the Banker (Q).

4. B and R are male; C is female but not the Dancer.

5. The Singer is married to the Doctor (S), so the Singer must be Q (female) or P (married to Q). Since Q is Banker, P must be the Singer.

6. The Teacher and Writer face inside; B faces inside and sits opposite the Dancer.

7. The Writer sits second to the right of the Dancer.

8. The brother of Q sits second to the left of the Banker (Q), so S is second to the left of Q.

9. Three persons sit between A and the Nurse.

10. D’s daughter sits third to the left of D; since Q is female and daughter of D, Q is D’s daughter.

11. S is sister-in-law of Q, so S is married to Q’s brother (R or B). Since S is brother of Q, this implies S is brother-in-law, so S is married to Q’s sibling.

12. After placing all relations and professions according to the clues, the person sitting second to the right of S is identified as the Dancer.
