Directions :
Consider the following information and answer the four items that follow:
There are five persons in a family living in National Capital Territory of Delhi - A, B, C, D and E. The family has one IAS Officer, one IPS Officer and one Engineer. A and D are unmarried college students. E is a man married to one of the group members. B is the brother of A and is neither an IAS Officer nor an Engineer. C is not an IAS Officer
Which of the following is definitely a male?
None of the above
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
As B is the brother of A, so B must be a man.
Now, B and E (a married man, as given in the question) are males.
A and D are unmarried students, hence E must be married to C. Thus, C is a female.
B is neither an IAS Officer nor an Engineer.
C is not an IAS Officer.
Therefore, E must be an IAS Officer.
Now, out of B and C, one is an IPS Officer and other is an Engineer.
And, as B is not an Engineer, he must be an IPS Officer.
Hence, C is an Engineer.
