Question 59

1. Neither S nor the person from Calcutta plays Cricket.
2. Q plays either Football or Chess.
3. P is from Bombay.
4. P plays either Chess or Tennis.
5. The person who plays Tennis is from Jaipur.

Each of four persons P, Q, R, and S play one game out of four different games namely Chess, Tennis, Cricket, and Football not necessarily in the same order. These persons live in one of the four different cities of Bombay, Calcutta, Ahmedabad, and Jaipur not necessarily in the same order. Further information is provided. The person who lives in Ahmedabad plays which of the following sports?

According to statements 3 and 4, we are directly told that P is from Bombay and he plays either Chess or Tennis.

From Statement 5, the person who plays Tennis is from Jaipur. 

With the above statements, we can say that P plays Chess because he is from Bombay and not Jaipur. 

From statement 2, Q plays Football or Chess. But Chess is already taken by P, so Q plays Football

From statement 1, neither S nor the Calcutta person plays Cricket. So Cricket is played by either P, Q, or R, but not S or a Calcutta person

P plays Chess and Q plays Football. So, Cricket must be played by R.

Now only one game left: Tennis, which must be played by S. And from statement 5, the person who plays Tennis is from Jaipur, we can say S is from Jaipur. 

So far, we know that, 

P → Bombay → Chess

S → Tennis → Jaipur

Q → Football

R → Cricket

Only cities left: Calcutta, Ahmedabad

From Statement 1, Calcutta person doesn't play Cricket But R plays Cricket, so R ≠ Calcutta So R must be from Ahmedabad and Q from Calcutta. 

Hence, we get the final configuration:

P → Bombay → Chess

S → Tennis → Jaipur

Q → Football → Calcutta

R → Cricket → Ahmedabad

The person from Ahmedabad plays Cricket.
