Directions for question :
Gautami, Helen, Ileana, Jaya, Katrina, Lara, Madhuri, Neha and Oviya were nine actresses from among whom three teams consisting respectively of two, three and four members had to be formed, one team each for each of the sequels of an epic trilogy to be shot by a renowned director, in any order.
The following were the conditions for the selection in the formation of the teams :
a) Ileana had to have three more actresses with her, as the sequel for which she was selected had four lady characters
b) Ileana and Oviya would represent the same character in the sequels of the trilogy, so could not be in the same team
c) Neha and Helen would also represent the same character in the sequels of the trilogy, so could not be in the same team
d) Lara and Madhuri would represent the character of twins in one of the sequels of the trilogy, and hence had to be together in the team
e) Jaya was acting in the sequel which had only three lady characters
Question:
If Jaya had Gautami as a part of her three member team, which two members among the options below should be in the team of Ileana ?
Helen and Lara
Lara and Madhuri
Neha and Madhuri
Neha and Katrina
Jaya and Gautami were the members of the three member team
From (a), Ileana was in the four member team
So, Lara and Madhuri, who were together in a team (d), could either be in the team of two or team of four members
Let us suppose Lara and Madhuri were in the team of two members
From (b), Oviya had to be in the three member team with Jaya and Gautami
But then all the actresses left – Helen, Neha and Katrina – had to be in the same team as Ileana.
But condition (c) would be violated.
Hence, Lara and Madhuri were in the team of four members with Ileana
The others could be anywhere in the four places vacant, one in the team of four, one in the team of three and two in the team of two.
Hence, Lara and Madhuri should be in the team of Ileana
