Direction: Read the following information and answer the question.
Five experts on Nano-technology involved in an International Research Project hold a Quarterly Review Meeting in Singapore. There are certain limitations on their language skills. Expert R1 knows only Japanese and Hindi; R2 is good at Japanese and English; R3 is good at English and Hindi; R4 knows French and Japanese quite well; and R5, an Indian, knows Hindi, English and French.

Suppose a sixth expert R6 joins in to chair the session so that the maximum number of the earlier five are able to understand him. He should be fluent in
  1. English and French
  2. Japanese and Hindi
  3. English and Hindi
  4. None of the given options is correct

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - Japanese and Hindi
Japanese + Hindi reaches R1, R2, R4 (Japanese) and R3, R5 (Hindi), so all five. English + French misses R1, and English + Hindi misses R4, so each reaches only four.
