• Vimala and Kamla are bank employees.
• Amala and Komala are unemployed.
• Amala, Kamla, Komala, and Nirmala are postgraduates in Sociology, and two of them are bank employees. Since Amala and Komala are unemployed, the two Sociology postgraduates who are bank employees must be Kamla and Nirmala.
• Therefore, Nirmala is a bank employee. (The three bank employees are Vimala, Kamla, and Nirmala).
