Directions for question:

During the Durga Puja holidays, bored by the mechanical and stressful life in the city of Kolkata, ten young Trainee Managers of Deloitte -- Mr Abir, Ms Baisali, Mr Chintu, Mr Deepu, Mr Emon, Ms Fatima, Mr Gaurav, Ms Haimanti, Ms Indrani and Mr Jyoti decided to go for a hike in the Dooars valley in North-Bengal to de-stress themselves.

The ten members decided to hike in three different groups, such that there were at least three members in each group. They named the groups Alcazar, Rastapopoulos and Tapioca.

Mr Abir, Mr Chintu, Mr Emon, Ms Fatima, Ms Haimanti and Mr Jyoti knew how to cook. Ms Baisali, Mr Chintu, Mr Deepu, Mr Gaurav, Ms Haimanti and Ms Indrani knew how to set up a tent. Each of the groups had at least one lady, two who could cook and two who could set up a tent. Ms Fatima is the only lady in Alcazar. Mr Abir and Mr Emon were in Tapioca.

As of now, we can tabulate our deductions as below :

  Name Activity known Group
1 Mr Abir Cooking Tapioca
2 Ms Baisali Setting tent  
3 Mr Chintu Cooking + Setting tent Alcazar
4 Mr Deepu Setting tent  
5 Mr Emon Cooking Tapioca
6 Ms Fatima Cooking Alcazar
7 Mr Gaurav Setting tent  
8 Ms Haimanti Cooking + Setting tent Rastapopoulos
9 Ms Indrani Setting tent  
10 Mr Jyoti Cooking Rastapopoulos

Mr Jyoti was definitely in Rastapopoulos. So he could not be in Tapioca.

As Ms Baisali and Mr Jyoti were not in the same group, Ms Baisali had to be either in Alcazar or Tapioca. But since Ms Fatima was the only lady in Alcazar, so Ms Baisali was in Tapioca.

If Ms Baisali was in Tapioca, then anyone among Mr Deepu, Mr Gaurav, or Ms Indrani had to be in Tapioca. So we cannot be definite who among Mr Gaurav and Ms Indrani was in Tapioca.

Hence, if Ms Baisali and Mr Jyoti were not in the same group, none of the members given in the options could be concluded to be definitely in Tapioca.
