Question and options

Four persons Raj, Prem, Ved and Ashok are married with four girls Sushma, Kusum, Vimla and Poonam. Sushma and Vimla are friends. Ved's wife does not like Sushma and Vimla. Kusum does not care for Ved or Prem. Prem's wife is friendly with Sushma, Sushma does not like Raj. In reference to the given information, which of the following are correct?

I. Raj's wife is Kusum.
II. Sushma's husband is Ashok.
III. Poonam is wife of Ved.
IV. Poonam is friendly with Vimla.
  1. III and IV only
  2. I, II and IV only
  3. II, III and IV only
  4. I, II and III only

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - I, II and III only
Ved's wife dislikes Sushma and Vimla, so she is neither of them, and Kusum does not care for Ved, so Ved's wife is Poonam. Sushma does not like Raj, and Prem's wife is her friend (so not Sushma herself), so Sushma's husband is Ashok. Kusum does not care for Prem, so Prem's wife is Vimla and Raj's wife is Kusum. Statements I, II and III are true; IV is false because Poonam, Ved's wife, does not like Vimla.
