Question and options
Three ladies X, Y and Z marry three men A, B and C, who are a lawyer, a doctor and an engineer in some order. X is married to A, Y is not married to an engineer, Z is not married to a doctor, C is not a doctor and A is a lawyer. Then which of the following statements is correct?
- Y is married to C who is an engineer
- Z is married to C who is a doctor
- X is married to a doctor
- None of the given options is correct
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - None of the given options is correct
A is the lawyer. C is not a doctor, so C is the engineer and B the doctor. X is married to A; Y is not married to an engineer, so Y is married to B (the doctor) and Z to C (the engineer), which also satisfies 'Z is not married to a doctor'. Y is therefore not married to C, C is an engineer and not a doctor, and X's husband is a lawyer, so none of the three statements is correct.
