Eight people carrying food baskets are going for a picnic on motorcycles.
Their names are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. They have 4 motorcycles M1, M2, M3 and M4 among them. They also have 4 food baskets O, P, Q and R of different sizes and shapes and each can be carried only on motorcycles M1, M2, M3 and M4 respectively.
No more than 2 persons can travel on a motorcycle and no more than one basket can be carried on a motorcycle. There are 2 husband-wife pairs in this group of 8 people and each pair will ride on a motorcycle together.
C cannot travel with A or B. E cannot travel with B or F. G cannot travel with F, or H, or D.
The husband-wife pairs must carry baskets O and P. Q is with A and P is with D.
F travels on M1 and E travels on M2 motorcycles.
G is with Q, and B cannot go with R.
Who is travelling with H?
It is given in the statements, that C cannot travel with A or B. E cannot travel with B or F. G cannot travel with F, or H, or D. By formulating the table we get
Q is with A and G is with Q => G and Q are travelling together on motorcycle M3
F travels on M1 and E travels on M2 motorcycles.
D is travelling with P on M2 => D and E are traveling together on M2
B cannot go with R => F and B go together on M1
Therefore, C and H go together on M4
So, the table can formed as below :
Hence, C would be travelling with H.
