Which language does Mitesh speak?
- Hindi
- English
- Gujarati
- None of the given options is correct
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - English
From the full arrangement, Ritesh speaks Tamil, so Mitesh, who can speak neither Tamil nor Marathi, must speak English. Hindi belongs to Paresh and Gujarati to Mangesh, the top scorer, so those options fail, and since English fits Mitesh, the catch-all option is false.
