âââââââ
M = Male, F = Female; Exe = Executive, Mgr = Manager, Dir = Director; Y = Young, I = In-between, O = Old
For each workshop, exactly four employees are to be sent, of which at least two should be Females and at least one should be Young. No employee can be sent to a workshop in which he or she is not interested in. An employee cannot attend the workshop on
- Communication Skills, if he or she is committed to internal projects in the month of January;
- Business Opportunities, if he or she is committed to internal projects in the month of February;
- E-governance, if he or she is committed to internal projects in the month of March.
Assuming that Parul and Hari are attending the workshop on Communication Skills (CS), then which of the following employees can possibly attend the CS workshop?
Answer & solution
Rahul and Yamini
- B
Dinesh and Lavanya
- C
Anshul and Yamini
- D
Fatima and Zeena
Apart from Parul and Hari, at least one female should attend the CS workshop. Also, the two selected for the CS workshop should not be committed to internal projects in January.
Consider the options.
In options 2, 3 and 4, Dinesh, Anshul, Fatima, and Zeena are committed to internal projects in January.
Employees in option 1 i.e. Rahul and Yamini can attend the CS workshop.
Hence, option (a).
