From the information we can conclude that there are at least 2 engineers and 1 doctor. Also there are more than 2 teachers. Hence, there is only one possibility when there are 3 teachers, 2 engineers and 1 doctor. It is given that two engineers are from Bangalore and Chennai. It is given that 1 teacher is from Kochi. Also, the profession of the person who is from Kolkata is same as that of the person who got down at Mughal Sarai. Both of these persons can be teacher only.
