Operations
- D
Cannot be determined uniquely from the given information
From (2), Y has two male and one female student. Hence, from (1), X has two male and one female student. From (2), female student from Y majors in Operations. Daisy minors in Operations. So Daisy (and also Amit) is not from Y.
From (6),
X: Amit, Chetan and Daisy
Y: Barun, Deb and Adriana
Z: Bandita and Chitra
From (3) and (7), Daisy minors in Operations and remaining three girls minors in Marketing.
From (4), the one female student majors in Finance is Chitra. Hence, Bandita majors in Operations.
Hence, option (c).
