Option D

None of these

Solution :

Correct Answer: None of these


Let us analyze the given information step-by-step to deduce the relationships, professions, and color preferences of all six family members.


1. Understanding the Family Structure:

From statement (v) and (vi), there are three generations:
- 1st Generation (Grandparents): Mohan (Grandfather) and Vanita (Mother-in-law / Grandmother). Since there are two couples in the family, Mohan and Vanita form the first married couple.
- 2nd Generation (Parents): Charan (CA) and Namita. Since Vanita is the mother-in-law of Namita, Charan is married to Namita.
- 3rd Generation (Children): Raman (Grandson / Principal) and Sarita (Granddaughter).


2. Analyzing Professions and Colors for Each Person:

Raman: Profession is Principal, likes Black colour (from statement v).
Sarita: Granddaughter, likes Blue colour (from statement vi).
Vanita: Likes Orange colour (from statement iv).
Charan: Profession is CA (from statement ii).
Sarita's mother (Namita): Likes White colour (from statement vi).
Mohan (Charan's father): He must be the Engineer because statement (iii) says "Engineer likes red colour and his wife (Vanita) is a teacher."
- So, Mohan is an Engineer and likes Red colour.
- Vanita's profession is Teacher.


3. Determining the Colour liked by the CA (Charan):

Let us summarize the colours associated with each person:
- Vanita: Orange
- Raman: Black
- Sarita: Blue
- Namita (Charan's wife): White
- Mohan: Red

The remaining colour for Charan (CA) must be Yellow (or Green, but statement ii states his wife does not like green, so Green goes to someone else if applicable, leaving Yellow for Charan).

Since Yellow (or the exact colour for CA, which is not White, Blue, or Black) is not present in the options White, Blue, or Black, the correct choice is None of these (the CA likes Yellow colour).
