NIMCET 2014 — Reasoning PYQ

Solution

Given:

A family of six members (A, B, C, D, E, and F) with six specific professions: Psychologist, Manager, Advocate, Jeweller, Doctor, and Engineer.

Step-by-Step Analysis:

• Step 1: Identify known professions from the clues.

  • D is a Manager (Given).

  • C is a Jeweller (Given).

  • F is a Psychologist (Given).

  • A is the Doctor (Since A is the grandfather of F and E, and the Doctor is the grandfather, $A=\text{Doctor}$).

  • B is the Advocate (C is married to an Advocate, and we established in previous questions that C is married to B).

• Step 2: Use the process of elimination.

  We have assigned professions to five out of six members:

  $$\text{Professions Assigned}=\{\text{Doctor (A), Manager (D), Jeweller (C), Advocate (B), Psychologist (F)}\}$$

• Step 3: Determine the remaining profession.

  The only profession left in the list is Engineer, and the only person left is E.

  $$\text{Remaining Member (E)}=\text{Engineer}$$

Conclusion:

Hence, E is an Engineer.
