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
If Bharat and Chetan interchange their dance partners, who will dance with Bharat?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Parveen
Each man dances with his own wife (condition I), so the partners Bharat and Chetan swap are their own wives.
Chetan’s wife — Parveen is the wife of Ankur’s brother (V), and Chetan’s only brother is Ankur (II), so Ankur’s brother is Chetan: Chetan – Parveen.
Bharat’s wife — she is not Qazi, Tanu or Sudha (IV), and Parveen is taken, so Bharat – Reshma.
After the swap, Bharat dances with Chetan’s wife, Parveen (and Chetan with Reshma).
