Question and options

Directions: Read the puzzle and answer the question based on it.
A, B, C, D, E and F are students. Each of them studies at least one of three subjects: Law, Engineering and Medicine.
A is not a Law Student.
B and E are not Engineering Students.
D is not a Medical Student.
A and D are not Engineering Students.
A and B are not alike.
C, E and F are not Medical Students.
Exactly two students study Engineering and exactly two study Medicine.
One student can study more than one subject.

Which of the following pairs are both Law students?
  1. A and B
  2. C and A
  3. B and D
  4. A and F

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - B and D
A is neither Law nor Engineering, so A studies only Medicine. D is neither Medical nor Engineering, so D studies only Law. A, B, D and E are not Engineering, so the two Engineering students are C and F. C, E, F and D are not Medical, so the two Medical students are A and B. B is not Engineering and must differ from A, so B studies Law and Medicine. E is neither Engineering nor Medical, so E studies Law. Law students include B, D and E; A is not a Law student, so the only pair of Law students among the options is B and D.
