Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.
A, B, C, D, E, and F are a group of friends. There are two housewives, one professor, one engineer, one accountant and one lawyer in the group. There are only two married couples in the group. The lawyer is married to D, who is a housewife. No woman in the group is either an engineer or an accountant. C, the accountant, is married to F, who is a professor. A is married to a housewife. E is not a housewife.
We are given that there are two housewives, one professor, one engineer, one lawyer and one accountant among A, B, C, D, E and F.
The other information given is that only two married couples are in the group.
We are given that the lawyer is married to D, and D is a housewife.
We are also given that no woman in the group is either an engineer or an accountant.
C is an accountant, has to be male, and is married to F, who is a professor, who has to be female.
Putting this information in the table, we get,
We are also given that A is married to the housewife. We know that there are only two married couples in the group, and C and F are already one couple in that group. We also know that D is a housewife and married to a lawyer, so this has to be the second couple, and A has to be the lawyer.
This leaves us with B and E, as well as housewife and engineer professions. Given that E is not a housewife, E has to be the Engineer and B has to be the housewife. Since the engineer cannot be a woman, E has to be a man, and B has to be a woman.
Putting all the information in the table, we get,
We can see that E is an engineer.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
