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.
Question:
If there were two ladies in Tapioca, then which of the following three members could be in Rastapopoulos ?
Mr Chintu, Mr Deepu, Mr Gaurav
Mr Gaurav, Ms Haimanti, Mr Jyoti
Mr Chintu, Mr Gaurav, Ms Haimanti
Ms Baisali, Mr Chintu, Ms Indrani
If there were two ladies in Tapioca, the distribution had to be as tabulated below :
Name | Activity known | Group | |
1 | Mr Abir | Cooking | Tapioca |
2 | Ms Baisali | Setting tent | Tapioca |
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 | Tapioca |
10 | Mr Jyoti | Cooking | Rastapopoulos |
Rastapopoulos had Ms Haimanti + Mr Jyoti. Thus one member who could set up a tent was required.
Thus in Rastapopoulos, Mr Deepu + Ms Haimanti + Mr Jyoti was possible, and so was Mr Gaurav + Ms Haimanti + Mr Jyoti.
Hence, If there were two ladies in Tapioca, then Mr Gaurav, Ms Haimanti, Mr Jyoti could be in Rastapopoulos
