Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.

Eight persons E, F, G, H, I, J, K and L are working in the police department. The designation of each person is different among DCP, SP, ASP, DSP, PI, API, SI and ASI but not necessarily in the same order.

Explanation :

A police officer can be suspended by only his/her a higher rank officer but not immediately higher.

F can be suspended by only one police officer who is not G. F is a higher rank police officer than J, who is not PI.

Here we get four possibilities.

Police officer E is suspended by ASP but his rank is higher than K.

The rank of H is lower than K but not the lowest-ranked officer.

We cannot fix the position of H in case (2) and case (3). So these cases are eliminated.

Officer L’s rank is higher than J but lower than G.

We cannot fix the position of G in case (1). So this case is eliminated.
