NIMCET 2015 — Reasoning PYQ

NIMCET | Reasoning | 2015

Directions
• There is a family of six members A, B, C, D, E and F.
• There are two married couples in the family and the family members represent three generations.
• Each member has a distinct choice of a colour amongst Green, Yellow, Black, Red, White and Pink.
• No lady members likes either Green or White.
• C, who likes Black colour, is the daughter-in-law of E.
• B is the brother of F and son of D and likes Pink.
• A is the grandmother of F and F does not like Red.
• Wife of the husband having a choice for Green colour likes Yellow.
Which of the following is one of the married couples?

Choose the correct answer:

Explanation

Step 1: Establishing the Family Tree

A is the grandmother of F: This places A in the $1^{st}$ generation and F in the $3^{rd}$ generation.
B is the brother of F and son of D: This means B and F are siblings ( $3^{rd}$ generation) and D is their parent ( $2^{nd}$ generation).
C is the daughter-in-law of E: This means C is married to E's son.
Connecting the dots: Since there are only 6 members and 3 generations, the structure must be:
- Generation 1: A and E (Married Couple)
- Generation 2: D and C (Married Couple)
- Generation 3: B and F (Children of D and C)

Step 2: Assigning Genders and Colours

C (Female): Likes Black.
B (Male): Likes Pink.
Rule: No lady likes Green or White.
Clue: "Wife of the husband having a choice for Green colour likes Yellow."
- Since C likes Black, this "Yellow-liking wife" must be A.
- Therefore, A (Female) likes Yellow and her husband E (Male) likes Green.
D (Male): Must be the husband of C.
F: Since F does not like Red, and males/females have specific color restrictions, we can deduce the rest of the colors, but for this specific question, the couples are already identified.

Step 3: Identifying the Couples

Based on the relationships:

Couple 1: $A + E$
Couple 2: $C + D$

Comparing this to the given options, CD is listed as a married couple.

Correct Option: (a) CD
