    C cannot go with Q.
    F cannot go with A or D.
    P and R have to be together.
    P cannot go with S.
    A and E have to be together.
    Unless otherwise mentioned, the above criteria are applicable to all the following questions:
    If not more than one member has to be a girl, then the team consists of

    A)  A,B,C,D,E,S       

    B)         A,B,C,D,E,Q

    C)  A,B,C,D,E,P                       

    D)  A,B,C,E,F,R

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Clearly, the team consists of five boys and one girl. Now, out of six boys A, B, C, D, E and F, F cannot go with A or D. So, we leave out F. Thus, A, B, C, D and E must be selected. Since C is selected, Q cannot be selected. Since P and R have to be together, none of them can be selected. So, S must be selected. Thus, the team becomes A, B, C, D, E, S.
