1) ACB
2) ACG
3) BCG

By 2nd condition, Miller family uses either i)ACB or ii)ACG
Now we have Robin, Mandy and Miller who uses apples (ACB,ACG,GAB)
while Miller and Mandy both uses A and C. That leaves GAB for Robin.

By 3rd condition Flure uses either C or G. So if we leave out the terms containing both C and G, we are left with ACB and GAB
