Solution
Case solution:
G, who is an Artist, is also either the sister or the grandmother. She has the father sitting to the immediate left. F who is the female Business Person is sitting to her immediate right.
The person to the immediate right of the grandmother is D, who is an Actor. Hence, G cannot be the grandmother as the person to the immediate right of G is a Business Person. Thus, G is the sister.
Father is a Doctor who sits between the sister and Professor. From this, we can infer that the person to the immediate left of the father is the Professor.
The person who sits to the immediate left of the Professor is C, who is a Director.
One space away from C is the grandmother. As father is already one space away from C to the right of C, the only spot Grandmother can take is one space away to the left of C.
There are 3 females in total, and two of them are already decided. Only the mother is left and it has to be F who is a female.
On the immediate right of the grandmother, we have D who is an actor.
The brother is not the Professor. He sits with the grandmother. D and F sit with the grandmother and F is the mother. Hence, the brother has to be D.
A and B sit together. The only two adjacent spots left are the spots occupied by the father and the Professor. Hence, these two are A/B in no particular order.
The only remaining role that E can take is the grandmother who is the Minister.
Grandfather and uncle need to be filled, hence, they can either be the Professor or C who is the Director.
