Answer 1

The correct option is C R

There are seven persons B, M, T, R, K, H and D. They all have different professions. Each of them are sitting on three different berths.
According to the question:-
The architect is the only person who occupies the same type of berth as B.
It means B and the person whose profession is Architect have the same type of berth.
M$\to$ Pathologist
H$\to$ Lawyer
T$\to$ Pharmacist
B$\to$ Engineer
D is neither a Journalist nor an Architect.
So D is the Doctor.
K occupies the same type of berth as D.
M and H are not on the middle berth So they are on the upper berth.
B and the Architect are not on the upper berth So, they are on the lower berth.
Hence K and D are on the middle berth.
Only T is left, so he is on the middle berth. Hence, K is not Architect. so he is a Journalist and K is on the middle berth.
K $\to$ Journalist
Therefore, R is an Architect.
So, the above information is represented in tabular form as:-
$\begin{array}{ccc}Persons& Professions& Berth\\ B& Engineer& Lower\\ M& Pathologist& Upper\\ T& Pharmacist& Middle\\ R& Architect& Lower\\ K& Journalist& Middle\\ H& Lawyer& Upper\\ D& Doctor& Middle\end{array}$

R is an Architect.
