Directions for question:

In the March 2022 Russian-Ukraine confrontation, a large number of Russian GRU field intelligence operatives were operating in Ukraine territory. 

But after a few months, made suspicious by a few not so normal intelligence leaks at the field level, the head of GRU, Admiral Igor Kostyukov, got suspicious. He decided to form a committee of four members out of the eight elite and loyal Spetsnaz commandos of the rank of Colonel in the GRU – A to H. Out of them, apart from being ruthless operatives, Colonel B and Colonel C had an excellent cover for themselves, being the star players in the Russian men’s ice-hockey team which in February 2022 won silver at the Winter Olympics in Beijing. The Admiral wanted the committee members to infiltrate the Ukrainian intelligence network as upper class family-men, and hence made it clear that the committee so formed should have two male and two female Spetsnaz Colonels.

He appointed his five GRU Directorate Heads to suggest their choice for the members of the committee out of the eight Colonels. 

The report of suggestions placed at Admiral Kostyokov’s table within a day was as follows :

GRU Directorate 1 Head

B

C

G

H

GRU Directorate 2 Head

A

D

E

H

GRU Directorate 3 Head

C

E

F

G

GRU Directorate 4 Head

B

D

E

G

GRU Directorate 5 Head

A

F

G

H

It was also noted that in all the suggestions made above there was exactly one married couple present, except the suggestions of the GRU Directorate 5 Head, where there was none.

Question:

Option: 1

 B and H
 

 


Option: 2

F and G


Option: 3

Option: 4

As observed in the observations made in Question Number 1, only the second and fourth sub-case of the case where B and G are married or the second and third sub-case of the case where C and G are married will hold.

By observation of all the different cases possible we can say that in all the four cases, Colonel F and Colonel G are definitely not married

Hence Colonel F and G can never be a married couple
