J was not born in the year 1994. O is not a Choreographer.

Question 134

Which of the following combinations of FriendProfession-Year of Birth is correct ?

Solution

Lawyer was born in 1986. Athlete was born in 1984. L and P were born in 1990 and 1992 respectively.


Now, L is neither an Accountant nor a Choreographer. Also L can neither be the Lawyer, nor the Athlete. Also since K is the doctor and J is the Engineer, L can only B the Actor.
Similarly P has to be the Accountant.

It is also given that the Doctor was not born in 1994, so the doctor has to be born in 1987.
Also J was not born in 1994, so J has to be born in 1983.

Since N was not born in 1994 and is also not an Athlete, therefore he has to be the Lawyer.
Also O is not the Choreographer.

The final arrangement looks like :-



As apparent from the table above, (A) is the correct order.
