Direction for the following 3 (three) items: Consider the given information and answer the three items (69-71) that follow.
A, B, C, D, E, F and G are Lecturers from different cities—Hyderabad, Delhi, Shillong, Kanpur, Chennai, Mumbai and Srinagar (not necessarily in the same order) who participated in a conference. Each one of them is specialized in a different subject, viz. Economics, Commerce, History, Sociology, Geography, Mathematics and Statistics (not necessarily in the same order). Further
1. Lecturer from Kanpur is specialized in Geography.
2. Lecturer D is from Shillong.
3. Lecturer C from Delhi is specialized in Sociology.
4. Lecturer B is specialized in neither History nor Mathematics.
5. Lecturer A who is specialized in Economics does not belong to Hyderabad.
6. Lecturer F who is specialized in Commerce belongs to Srinagar.
7. Lecturer G who is specialized in Statistics belongs to Chennai.
Who of the following belongs to Hyderabad?
Correct Answer :
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.
