    Directions: Read the following statements carefully to answer these questions: From a batch of six boys A, B, C, D. E and F and four girls P, Q, R and S, a team of six is to be selected.
    Some of the criteria are:
    B and D have to be together.
    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 three members including C have to be boys and S agrees to team with P while E refuses to do so, then the other members of the team are:

    A)  A,E,Q   

    B)         B,D.R

    C)  E,F,S    

    D)         B,D,Q

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Clearly, the team consists fo three boys and three girls. Since C is selected, so Q cannot be selected. Thus, the three girls selected are P, R and S. Now, two boys have to be selected. Since B and D have to be together, and A and E have to be together, so either (B, D) or (A, E) must be selected. But, E refuses to team with P. Hence, B and D must be selected. Thus, the team becomes B, C, D, P, R, S.
