Question

There are five men A, B, C, D and E and six women P, Q, R, S, T and U. A, B and R are advocates. C, D, P, Q and S are doctors and the rest are teachers. Some terms are to be selected from amongst these eleven persons subject to the following condition:

A, P and U have to be together.

B cannot go with D or R.

E and Q have to be together.

C and T have to be together.

D and P cannot go together.

C cannot go with Q.

If the team is to consist of two male advocates, two lady doctors and one teachers, the members of the team are

• A. A B P Q U
• B. A B P U S
• C. A P R S U
• D. B E Q R S

Answer 1

The correct option is B A B P U S

	A	B	C	D	E	P	Q	R	S	T	U
Men	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y
Wom						Y	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y
Adv	Y	Y						Y
Doc			Y	Y		Y	Y		Y
Tea					Y					Y	Y

Since there are only two male advocates A and B, then two male advocates in the team will be A and B.

So, BEQRS and APRSU are wrong.

We have three lady doctors P, Q and S.

Three teachers E, T, and U.

A, P and U have to be together.

We cannot select Q, since E is cannot be selected.

So, the doctors in the team will be P and S.

Hence, the required team consisting of 2 male advocates, two lady doctors and one teacher is A B P U S
