Question

NIMCET 2010 — Reasoning PYQ

NIMCET | Reasoning | 2010

Direction Question : Read the following information carefully and answer the question that follow :
(i) There is group of five person – P, Q, R, S and T
(ii) One of them is horticulturist, one is a physicist, one is a journalist, one is an industrialist and one is an advocate.
(iii) Three of them – P, R and advocate prefer tea to coffee and two of them – Q and the journalist prefer coffee to tea.
(iv) The industrialist, S and P are friends to one another but two of these prefer coffee to tea
(v) The horticulturist is R’s brother.

Who is an industrialist ?

Choose the correct answer:

Explanation

Solution

To find the industrialist, we can track the relationship between the individuals, their professions, and their beverage preferences:

Step 1: Determine Coffee Preferences

According to clue (iii), only two people prefer coffee: $Q$ and the Journalist.

From clue (iv), we know that among the group of friends (the Industrialist, $S$ , and $P$ ), two prefer coffee. Since clue (iii) explicitly states $P$ prefers tea, the two coffee drinkers in that friendship group must be $S$ and the Industrialist.
Step 2: Match the Coffee Drinkers

Now we have two sets of coffee drinkers:

Set A: $\{Q, \text{Journalist}\}$

Set B: $\{S, \text{Industrialist}\}$

Comparing these two sets, we can conclude that $Q$ is the Industrialist and $S$ is the Journalist.
Step 3: Verify the Remaining Professions
- The tea drinkers are $P$ , $R$ , and the Advocate. Since $Q$ and $S$ are already assigned, the only person left to be the Advocate is $T$ .
- Clue (v) states the Horticulturist is $R$ 's brother. This means $R$ cannot be the horticulturist. Therefore, $P$ is the Horticulturist and $R$ is the Physicist.

Final Answer:

The Industrialist is $Q$ .

The correct option is (c).
