6) Answer (E)

G is fifth to the left of C and F is fifth to the right of A. Hence, there are two configurations possible:

G A _ _ _ C F and A G _ _ _ F C

As F is not at either end, only the second configuration is possible.

As E is second to the left of D, the placement is as follows

A G E B D F C

Hence, D is the reporter. The Doctor is to the left of the Engineer and the Painter is 4th to the right of the Engineer. Hence, two configurations are possible:

Doctor – Eng – _ _ Rep – Painter – _

or _ – Doc – Eng – _ Rep – Pain – _

As the Lawyer and Teacher are next to each other, the second configuration is impossible. Hence, the configuration is

Doc – Eng – Tea – Law – Rep – Pain – Act

A – G – E – B – D – F – C

Option A, B, C and D follow a pattern where the 2nd letter is one after from the previous in the arrangement and 3rd one is immediately next to the 2nd letter. This pattern is followed by all the options except DFC. Hence, answer will be E

A – G – E – B – D – F – C

Hence, D is immediate left of Painter

Doc – Eng – Tea – Law – Rep – Pain – Act

A – G – E – B – D – F – C

Hence, C is the Actor.
