Question 139

Which of the following groups includes persons who like tea but none in the group is an advocate ?

Solution

Representation: Name initials - tea/coffee - Profession

We know that:

AM- T - __

CS- T - ___

BR - C- ___

DS - __ - __

AS - __ - Advocate

Now, Advocate prefers tea. Hence, AS - T - Advocate

This means, DS has to prefer coffee as two people prefer coffee. Also, Barkat Rai and the journalist prefer coffee. Hence, DS - C - Journalist.

Chandram Singh has MBBS, hence he shall be the physician. This means, CS - T- Physician.

Now, we know that DS, AM, and the industrialist are close friends in which two of them prefer coffee. One shall be DS, and the other shall be BR, who is an industrialist.

Hence, BR- C - Industrialist.

This means, AM - T- Horticulturalist.

CS, AS, and AM like tea. But AS is an advocate. Hence, the correct option is D.
