Q:
There are eight poets, namely, A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H in respect of whom questions are being asked in the examination. The first four are ancient poets and the last four are modern poets. The question on ancient and modern poets is being asked in alternate years. Those who like H also like G, those who like D like C also. The examiner who sets question is not likely to ask question on D because he has written an article on him. But he likes D. Last year a question was asked on F. Considering these facts, on whom the question is most likely to be asked this year ?
Answer
Answer : C
Explanation :
Since the examiner likes D, it means he must like C also, since the question states that those who like D like C also.
Since last year a question was asked on F, who is a modern poet, this year a question will be asked on an ancient poet which means A,B,C or D
Now the examiner is not likely to ask question on D because he has written an article on him. So he will ask the question on C since he likes C as well
