(v) Mohan is grandfather of Raman and Raman, who is a principal, likes black colour.

(vi) Sarita is granddaughter of vanita and she likes blue colour. Sarita’s mother likes white colour.

Who is an engineer?

The correct answer is Mohan.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Step 1: Identify the Family Members and Generations

There are 6 family members spanning 3 generations: Grandparents (1st generation), Parents (2nd generation), and Children (3rd generation).

From statement (v), Mohan is the grandfather of Raman. From statement (vi), Sarita is the granddaughter of Vanita. Thus, Mohan and Vanita belong to the 1st generation (Grandparents).

Since Raman is a grandson/grandchild and Sarita is a granddaughter, Raman and Sarita belong to the 3rd generation.

The remaining two family members are Charan and Namita, who must belong to the 2nd generation (Parents).

Step 2: Determine Relationships and Couples

There are two couples in the family:

1. 1st Generation Couple: Mohan (husband/grandfather) and Vanita (wife/grandmother).

2. 2nd Generation Couple: Charan (husband/father) and Namita (wife/mother). Statement (iv) mentions Vanita is the mother-in-law of Namita, which aligns with Namita being married to Vanita's son, Charan.

3. 3rd Generation: Raman and Sarita (brother and sister / grandchildren of Mohan and Vanita, children of Charan and Namita).

Step 3: Map Professions and Colors

• Statement (v): Raman is a principal and likes black colour.

• Statement (vi): Sarita likes blue colour. Sarita's mother (Namita) likes white colour.

• Statement (iv): Vanita likes orange colour.

• Statement (ii): Charan is a CA.

• Statement (iii): "Engineer likes red colour and his wife is a teacher."

Since Charan is a CA, he cannot be the engineer. Therefore, the only remaining male in the older generation, Mohan, must be the Engineer (and his wife Vanita is the teacher).

Thus, Mohan is the engineer.
