Anna, Bena, Catherina and Diana are at their monthly business meeting. Their occupations are author, biologist, chemist and doctor, but not necessarily in that order. Diana just told the neighbour, who is a biologist that Catherine was on her way with doughnuts. Anna is sitting across from the doctor and next to the chemist. The doctor was thinking that Bena was a good name for parents to choose, but diana cant say anything. What is each person occupation?

• in question it is clearly given catherine is biologist.
  and anna is siting across doctor and next to chemist (cant be biologist)so author
  doctor thinks bena is good name so bena cant be a doctor so diana is doctor.
  remainig position is chemist - bena
  
  catherine-biologist , bena-chemist , diana - doctor , anna - author

• here the term "sitting accross" means they are sitting in a circle or rectangle.
  So,diana's one side neighbour (say left) is a biologist.
  Anna is sitting next to a chemist.
  now if anna is in the right side of diana then diana must be a chemist and diana's left side neighbour who is sitting accross anna is a doctor which is not true.
  so anna must be sitting next to catherine who is a chemist and anna is sitting accross diana and diana is a doctor.so anna is an author.
  So,starting from diana if we go clockwise then first comes bena then anna then catherine.
  
  Anna-author,Bena-Biologist,Catherine-chemist,Diana-Doctor.

• Anna is biologist
  Bena is chemist
  Catherina is doctor
  Diana is author
  because according to the given data Anna,Bena,Daina cannot become a doctor
  so catherina is doctor.
