Six male friends A, B, C, D, E and F are married to R, S, U, V, T and W, not necessarily in the same order. The following facts are known about them:
R and S are A’s sisters.
Neither R nor T is the wife of C.
W is the wife of E and V is the wife of B.
D is not married to R, S or T.
Who is A’s wife?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
A's wife is T. W and V are married to E and B, and D is not married to R, S or T, so D's wife is U. That leaves R, S and T for A, C and F. A cannot marry his sisters R and S, so A is married to T; then C, who is not married to R, takes S, and F takes R. The pairing is fully fixed, so the answer can be determined, and U is D's wife.
