Choose your answer
A, B, C, D, E, F and G are seven members of a family; three are females and four are males. There are two architects, two travel agents, one teacher, one engineer and one doctor. No lady is either a teacher or an engineer. C is a travel agent and is married to A, who is a teacher. F, the engineer, is married to D, who is neither a travel agent nor a doctor. No two ladies have the same profession. B is the sister of G, who is an architect.
What is E's profession?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
E is a travel agent. A is the teacher and F the engineer, so both are men, and their wives C and D are women. D is not a travel agent, doctor, teacher or engineer, so D is an architect; C is a travel agent. B is a sister, so B is the third woman, and since no two women share a profession, B is the doctor. G is an architect, which fills both architect posts, so the only profession left for E is the second travel agent; the engineer's post already belongs to F.
