Question and options

Direction: Read the following data and answer the question.
A shopkeeper is preparing gift boxes of sweets. Each box will contain exactly two kinds of pedhas to be selected from F, G, H and exactly three kinds of rasgollas to be selected from P, Q, R, S, and T with the following restrictions:
I. G cannot be in the same box as T
II. P cannot be in the same box as S
III. Q cannot be in the same box as T

If T is included in a box, the box must also include which of the following kinds of sweet?
  1. F and G
  2. F and H
  3. P and R
  4. R and S

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - F and H

If T is in the box, G is barred, so the two pedhas must be F and H, the only two left from F, G and H. The pair P and R is tempting, but P is not compulsory: alongside T the box needs R plus either P or S, since Q is barred and P and S cannot go together.
