A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre. Each of them has a different profession, viz doctor, engineer, architect, pilot, banker, teacher, businessman and politician. The politician sits third to the right of G. C is an immediate neighbour of G. The architect sits second to the right of C. B sits third to the right of H. H is neither a politician nor an architect. Only one person sits between C and the teacher. A and F are immediate neighbours of each other. Neither A nor F is a politician. The doctor sits second to the right of A. Two people sit between D and the engineer. D is not a politician. The pilot is not an immediate neighbour of the politician. The banker sits second to the left of A. Who is the Banker?

After considering politician sitting third to the right of G and C being an immediate neightbour of G, we get: 

(C) shows currently multiple positions given for C

G(C)     (C)
   Politician    



Now, we are given that architect sits second to the right of C. This removes one possible position for C and we get:

G      C
 Architect Politician    


We get two possibilities after considering

 B sits third to the right of H. H is neither a politician nor an architect.

 

G H  B C
 Architect Politician Teacher  
GB    HC
 Architect Politician Teacher  

Here the first one is not possible because the only option for A and F as immediate neighbours would mean one between them is either a Politician or Architect. So, we get second one as only possibility. 

 

GB  (A)(F)(A)(F)HC
 Architect Politician Teacher  

Since 2 people sits between D and Engineer and D not being Politician we get 

GBD (A)(F)(A)(F)HC
 Architect Politician Teacher Engineer

 

Now Doctor sitting second to the right of A gives

GBD AFHC
 Architect Politician TeacherDoctorEngineer

Now, Pilot is not an immediate neighbour of politician and Banker sits second to the left of A gives:
