A group of three or four has to be selected from seven persons. Among are two women: Fiza and Kavita, and five men: Ram, Shyam, David, Peter and Rahim. Ram would not like to be in the group if Shyam is also selected. Shyam and Rahim want to be selected together in the group. Kavita would like to be in the group only if David is also there. David, if selected, would not like Peter in the group. Ram would like to be in the group only if Peter is also there. David insists that Fiza be selected in case he is there in the group.
Which of the following statements is true?
Answer & solution
- A
Kavita and Ram can be part of a group of four
- B
A group of four can have two women
- C
A group of four can have all four men
None of the above
Option 1 is false because for Kavita to be in the group, David has to be in the group and for Ram to be in the group Peter has to be selected. But David and Peter cannot be selected together.
Option 2 is false because along with the two women Kavita and Fiza, David has to be selected and Ram, Shyam, Peter and Rahim cannot be selected alone.
Option 3 is false because David and Peter cannot be selected together and Ram and Shyam cannot be selected together.
Hence, option (d).
