Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. A, B, C, D, E and F are members of a family. They are engineer, stenographer, doctor, draughtsman, lawyer and judge (not in order). A, the engineer is married to the lady stenographer. The judge is married to the lawyer. F, the draughtsman is the son of B and brother of E. C, the lawyer is the daughter-in-law of D. E is the unmarried doctor. D is the grandmother of F. There are two married couples in the family.
Which of the following is/are a couple/couples ?
Only AD
Only BC
AD and BC
AC and BD
Let’s break this down with each statement and see who’s who:
- A is the engineer, married to the lady stenographer (let’s label her B for now).
- The judge is married to the lawyer (so, another couple—note that).
- F is the draughtsman, son of B, brother of E.
- C is the lawyer and the daughter-in-law of D.
- E is the unmarried doctor (can’t be part of a couple).
- D is the grandmother of F.
- Two married couples in the family.
Let's assign everyone:
- If A is the engineer (male), married to the stenographer (lady), who is B. Couple one: A and B.
- The judge is married to the lawyer. C is the lawyer and daughter-in-law of D. So, C (lawyer, female) is married to someone who could be the judge (her husband). That’s not A (he’s the engineer)—must be E or F. E is unmarried, so F’s the son, so F’s too young or unmarried. It must be A married to C. But wait, that can't be because A is with the stenographer. So, maybe B is the judge, C is the lawyer (female), her husband can only be B. But B is the lady stenographer.
Let’s build the family:
- D (grandmother)
- A (engineer, married to B the stenographer)
- B (A’s wife, stenographer)
- F (son of B, draughtsman, brother of E)
- E (unmarried doctor, sibling—so likely daughter)
- C (lawyer, daughter-in-law of D, must be married to A or F)
- A & B = Couple 1
- Judge is married to the Lawyer. The only people left to pair as a couple are D (grandmother) and someone else, but D is the grandmother and C is her daughter-in-law. So, D is married to someone not mentioned directly. Only two married couples are A-B and the judge-lawyer pair. Since E is unmarried, F is the son. C is the lawyer married to A or F.
But F is the son, so can’t be married. So, A is married to C (lawyer), so B is the stenographer, D is grandmother (not part of a couple anymore). So, only married couples are A and B, and Judge and Lawyer (A-C). But, since only two married couples—and the passage says A is married to the lady stenographer, and the judge is married to the lawyer—then A is with B, someone else (Judge, not specified) is married to the lawyer (C). So, couples are A-B and Judge-Lawyer (C and another).
Now, your options:
1. Only AD
2. Only BC
3. AD and BC
4. AC and BD
Here’s the thing: None of the names matches the actual correct couple pairing according to the information. But the passage's couples are *A & B* and *Judge (unidentified) & C*, but in the options, none reflect that.
To summarize:
- A and B are definitely a couple (engineer and stenographer)
- Judge and C (lawyer) are a couple, but options don’t match that pairing
- AD is not a couple.
None of the options are quite a perfect fit, but AD is definitely not a couple.
If I missed something and you think AD refers to A married to D (but D is the grandmother), that would be incorrect because A is married to B.
