Answer 1

Answer:

c) Doctor............

Answer 2

Answer:

d. Cannot be determined

Explanation:

• According to the given information, the journalist will be right behind the doctor and the banker and photographer will not stand next to each other.
• Also, there are only 2 people standing between the doctor and professor. This will only be possible if the doctor is standing first or second and the professor is fourth or fifth.
• The journalist hence can be 2nd or 3rd and the banker and photographer can come in any way in the remaining places, we cannot uniquely determine that part.
• Thus, we cannot determine who will be standing 1st in the queue and vote first, hence, option d.
