Option B

E

Solution :

The correct option is E.


Step-by-Step Explanation:


Let's analyze the given statements step-by-step to match each of the seven Lecturers (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) with their respective City and Subject specialization:


1. From statement 3: Lecturer C is from Delhi and specializes in Sociology.

2. From statement 6: Lecturer F is from Srinagar and specializes in Commerce.

3. From statement 7: Lecturer G is from Chennai and specializes in Statistics.

4. From statement 2: Lecturer D is from Shillong.

5. From statement 5: Lecturer A specializes in Economics and is not from Hyderabad.


Now, let's identify the cities:

The cities given are Kanpur, Delhi, Shillong, Chennai, Mumbai, Srinagar, and Hyderabad.

- C is from Delhi.
- F is from Srinagar.
- G is from Chennai.
- D is from Shillong.
- Statement 1 says the Lecturer from Kanpur specializes in Geography. A specializes in Economics, so A cannot be from Kanpur.
- Therefore, the remaining cities for A are Mumbai or Hyderabad. Since statement 5 explicitly states A does not belong to Hyderabad, A must be from Mumbai.


Now we have two Lecturers left without assigned cities: B and E.

The remaining cities to assign are Kanpur and Hyderabad.

- Since the lecturer from Kanpur is specialized in Geography (Statement 1), let's look at the remaining subjects: Geography, History, Mathematics.
- Statement 4 states that Lecturer B is specialized in neither History nor Mathematics. Thus, B must be specialized in Geography.
- Since the lecturer specialized in Geography is from Kanpur (Statement 1), B belongs to Kanpur.
- This leaves the remaining city, Hyderabad, for Lecturer E.


Summary Table:

- A: Mumbai | Economics
- B: Kanpur | Geography
- C: Delhi | Sociology
- D: Shillong | History / Mathematics
- E: Hyderabad | History / Mathematics
- F: Srinagar | Commerce
- G: Chennai | Statistics


Hence, E belongs to Hyderabad.
