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.

To which city does the Lecturer specialized in Economics belong?

Correct Option: Mumbai

To determine which city the Lecturer specialized in Economics belongs to, let us analyze the given information step-by-step and map each lecturer to their respective city and subject specialization.

Step 1: Record direct assignments from the given data

From statements 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, we can directly place several details:

• Lecturer F: City = Srinagar, Subject = Commerce

• Lecturer G: City = Chennai, Subject = Statistics

• Lecturer C: City = Delhi, Subject = Sociology

• Lecturer D: City = Shillong

• Lecturer A: Subject = Economics

Step 2: Determine the city for Lecturer A (Economics)

Let us list all 7 cities: Hyderabad, Delhi, Shillong, Kanpur, Chennai, Mumbai, and Srinagar.

Now, look at the cities assigned so far:

• Srinagar is assigned to F.

• Chennai is assigned to G.

• Delhi is assigned to C.

• Shillong is assigned to D.

• Statement 1 tells us that the lecturer from Kanpur is specialized in Geography. Since Lecturer A is specialized in Economics, Lecturer A cannot be from Kanpur.

• Statement 5 explicitly states that Lecturer A does not belong to Hyderabad.

Eliminating these cities for Lecturer A leaves only one remaining option:

• Not Srinagar (F), Not Chennai (G), Not Delhi (C), Not Shillong (D), Not Kanpur (Geography), Not Hyderabad (Given in statement 5).

Therefore, Lecturer A (who is specialized in Economics) belongs to Mumbai.
