Five men Ankur, Bharat, Chetan, Dev, Insan and their wives Parveen, Qazi, Reshma, Sudha and Tanu join a dance party, but it is not necessary that the order of husbands and wives are the same. This is the information that-
I. Husbands dance only with their wives
II. Chetan has a sister Tanu and has only a brother Ankur
III. If Dev has dance with Tanu, that means he danced with another’s wife
IV. Bharat does not dance with Qazi or Tanu or Sudha
V. Parveen is wife of Ankur’s brother
VI. Qazi did not dance with Dev
Who is the dance partner of Reshma?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Bharat
By condition I, each man dances only with his own wife, so finding the dance partners means finding the five couples. Each condition rules out some wives for some men:
V and II — Parveen is the wife of Ankur’s brother. Chetan’s only brother is Ankur, so Ankur’s brother is Chetan: Chetan – Parveen.
IV — Bharat’s wife is not Qazi, Tanu or Sudha, and Parveen is Chetan’s wife, so Bharat – Reshma.
II and III — Tanu is the sister of Chetan and of Ankur, and dancing with Tanu would mean Dev danced with another’s wife, so Tanu is not the wife of Chetan, Ankur, Dev or Bharat: Insan – Tanu.
VI — Ankur and Dev are left with Qazi and Sudha, and Qazi did not dance with Dev, so Ankur – Qazi and Dev – Sudha.
So Reshma’s husband, and her dance partner, is Bharat.
