Question and options
There are eight poets, namely, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H in respect of whom questions are being asked in the examination. The first four are ancient poets and the last four are modern poets. The question on ancient and modern poets is being asked in alternate years. Those who like H also like G, those who like D like C also. The examiner who sets question is not likely to ask question on D because he has written an article on him. But he likes D. Last year a question was asked on F. Considering these facts, on whom the question is most likely to be asked this year?
- B
- C
- D
- G
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - C
Ancient poets (A to D) and modern poets (E to H) are asked in alternate years; last year a modern poet (F) was asked, so this year it is an ancient poet. D is ruled out because the setter has written an article on him, but the setter likes D, and those who like D also like C. So C is the most likely choice, while B has no link to the setter and G is a modern poet.
