    A, P and U have to be together.
    B cannot go with D or R.
    E and Q have to be together.
    C and T have to be together.
    D and P cannot go together.

    If the team is to consist of one male advocate, one male doctor, one lady doctor and two teachers, the members of the team are:

    A)  A, C, P, T, U       

    B)         A, D, E, P, T

    C)  A, D, E, P, U 

    D)         B, C, E, Q, U

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The male advocates are A and B; male doctors are C and D; lady doctors are P, Q and S; teachers are E, T and U. If A is selected, P and U will be selected. D and P cannot go together. So, a male doctor C will be selected. C and T have to be together. Thus, the team is A, C, P, T, U. If B is selected, D will not be selected. So, male doctor C will be chosen. C and T have to be together. Now, the second teacher to be selected is E or U. But, U cannot go without A. So, E will be selected. E and Q have to be together. Thus, the team can also be B, C, E, Q, T.
