Who amongst the following studies in the 7th standard?
The correct option is A G
Consider the important information (Primary information) that give clear clues.
(i) A likes Maths and studies in 5th standard with only one friend.
(ii) D does not like Civics and studies in 6th standard.
(iii) According to information, A and D do not like history as they study in 5th and 6th standards respectively.
(iv) E does not like languages and studies with only one friend.
(v) C does not like English. Hindi or Civics.
(vi) A and D are not in the same standard.
Now we consider the facts (second information) that are not given but definitely follow :
(i) E, I and C cannot study in the same standard as E does not like languages and C does not like English.
From here we can deduce that I, B and G study in 7th standard. Information says that A studies with one friend in 5th standard and D studies with one friend in 6th standard. Also E and I cannot study in the same standard as I's friends like languages.
(ii) Friends of I, that is, B and G like languages (Marathi. English and Hindi). Definitely, I studies History because no student of 5th and 6th standards studies history.
Now we can construct a Table as follows :
ABCDEGISubjectHistoryXXXXXX✓CivicsXXX✓XXXEnglishXXXXXMarathiXX✓XXXXHindiXXXXXMaths✓XXXXXXEconomicsXXXX✓XXStandard5th✓X✓XXXX6thXXX✓✓XX7thX✓XXX✓✓
As we see there are four blank spaces that indicates B or G studies English or Hindi. It cannot be said definitely who (B or G) studies which languages (English or Hindi).
Now, we can answer the questions of the above example:-
G studies in 7th standard.
Hence required answer is (A)
