Issues with Answer (Question: 102933.0 )

How is Q A's husband and not D's. Which clue suggests this ?

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Four families decided to go for a picnic to Jhumri Talaiya and agreed to meet at a place called Rani ka Talab before moving for the picnic. One family has no kid, while the others have at least one kid each. Amongst each family with kids, at least one kid goes to the picnic. Following is the information about the families.

i. The family with two kids came just before the family with no kids.

ii. D who does not have any kids reached just before C’s family.

iii. P and his wife reached last with their only kid.

iv. Q is not B’s husband.

v. Q and S are fathers.

vi. C’s and A’s daughters go to the same school.

vii. B came before D and met A when she reached the fixed place.

viii. R stays farthest from the place and he is a good singer.

ix. S explained that his son could not come because of exams.

Who amongst the females arrived third?

Options:

A) A

B) B

C) C

D) D

E) Can’t be determined

Solution:

Solutions: The following table would help you solve this question set.

Initial Sentence

4 families, one with no kid and others with at least one kid each.

Statement (i)

(Family with 2 kids-Family with no kids) At this point, we just make a visual representation of this clue. It is not directly usable as it gives many possibilities.

Statement (ii)

D just before C. Not usable at this point. Also D has no kids.

Statement (iii)

Usable at this point

			P & Wife
			Only kid

Statement (iv)

Q is not the husband of B (means B is female). Again this clue is not directly usable.

Statement (v)

Q and S are fathers. Hence males. Not usable at this point.

Statement (vi)

A & C have daughters. Not usable at this point.

Statement (vii)

A – B – D . Add the reaction of C coming after D (Statement ii) and we get the entire structure for the 4 women’s arrival. The table now becomes.

A	B	D	C
		No kids	1 kid

Add Statement (i)’s reaction and the table further evolves to:

A	B	D	C
Daughter	2 kids	No kids	1 kid

Now concentrate on the husbands (Q, R & S)

Statement (viii)

No information

Statement (ix)

S must have 2 kids. Since his son has not come and it is known that every family which has kids has at least 1 kid coming to the picnic. Thus the table now evolves to the following:
