(iv) Since D and F have been completing for a promotion, they should not be sent as members of the same team.
Q-8) Under the guidelines developed, which one of the following is the possible number of different teams which can be sent to the new office?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
As discussed in Q. 35, the two accounts assistants taken must be (A, B) or (B, C). If D is selected along with (A, B), then neither F nor G can be selected. So, E and H must be selected and the team becomes A, B, D, E, H.
If D is not selected and E is selected along with (A, B), then the remaining two accounts officers selected may be (F, G) or (G, H) or (F, H).
Thus, the possible teams are A, B, E, F, G; A, B, E, G, H and A, B, E, F, H. If neither D or E is selected, then F, G and H may be selected along with (A, B) and the team becomes A, B, F, G, H. If (B, C) is selected, then E cannot be selected.
So, three accounts officers have to be selected from amongst D, F, G and H. But, if D is selected, neither F nor G can be selected. So, D cannot be selected and F, G, H must be selected.
Thus, the team becomes B, C, F, G, H. Thus, the total number of possible teams is 6 - (A, B, D, E, H); (A, B, E, F, G); (A, B, E, G, H); (A, B, E, F, H); (A, B, F, G, H); (B, C, F, G, H).
