type 2 selection grouping & team formation on condition puzzles Detailed Explanation And More Example

Answer: (b)

The advocates are A, B and R; doctors are C, D, P, Q, s; teachers are E, T and U. The team consists of three teachers i.e. E, T, U. Now, A, P and U have to be together. E and Q have to be together.

Thus, the team is A, E, P, Q, T, U.

Answer: (a)

The male advocates are A and B; male doctors are C and D; lady doctors are P, Q and S; teachers are E, T and U. If A is selected, P and U will be selected. D and P cannot go together.

So, a male doctor C will be selected C and T have to be together. Thus, the team is A, C, P, T, U. If B is selected, D will not be selected. So, male doctor C will be chosen. C and T have to be together.

Now, the second teacher to be selected is E or U. But, U cannot go without A. So, E will be selected. E and Q have to be together.

Thus, the team can also be B, C, E, Q, T.

Answer: (c)

The advocates are A, B and R; the doctors are C, D, P, Q and S; male teacher is E. Clearly, E will be selected. E and Q have to be together. C and Q cannot be together.

So, C will not be selected. P also cannot be selected because U is not selected. So, two other doctors D and S will be selected. P is not selected, so A will not be selected. D is selected, so B cannot be selected.

Thus, the team is D, E, Q, R, S.

Answer: (a)

If R is operated at 3rd place in a sequence, then V will be operated at fourth place and either S or U at last place. On the basis of this sequence, we see that Q cannot be operated at the second place because T cannot be operated after Q as there is no space left for T.

Answer: (c)

Option (a) P, R, V, S, U violates condition I - P should not come with V.

Option (b) Q, S, R, V, U violates condition II - T should come after Q.

Option (c) T, U, R, V, S is the correct option.

Option (d) U, Q, S, T, W violates condition IV last programme should be either S or U.

Option (e) V, Q, R, T, S violates condition III V should follow R.

Answer: (e) Four of the programme sets cannot be operated on the next day out of those operated on the 1st day.
