Its management is planning to open a new office in another city using three Accounts Officers and two Accounts Assistants from its present staff. The following guidelines have been established to set up the new office:
    (i)  A and C are constantly finding faults with each other and should not be sent as members of the same team.
    (ii) C and E function well alone but not as a team. They should not be sent as members of the same team.
    (iii) D and G do not enjoy good relations. They should not be sent as members of the same team.
    (iv) Since D and F have been competing for a promotion, they should not be sent as members of the same team.
    If C and F are moved to the new office, then what is the number of different teams that can be formed?

    A)  4                                            

    B)  3

    C)  2                            

    D)         1

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     If C is selected, A must not be selected. So, the second Accounts Assistant selected must be B. If C is selected, E cannot be selected. If F is selected, D cannot be selected. So, the three Accounts Officers selected must be F, G and H. Thus, only one team is formed - B, C, F, G, H.
