Clearly, Y and C can be selected along with X and B or D. So, I is false.

Z and B can be selected along with X or Y, and D. So, II is false.

Z and D can be selected along with X or Y, and  A or B. So, III is false.

Answer: (b)

If Y and Z are selected, then by (i) and (ii), A and C cannot be selected.

Thus, the two junior executives in the team must be B and D.

Answer: (b)

Y and Z can also form a team with B and D. So, I is false.

If C is selected, then Z cannot be selected. So, the two senior executives in the team must be X and Y. So, II is true.

If both A and C are rejected, the two junior executives in the team must be B and D. And, B and D may have any two senior executives from amongst X, Y and Z. So, III is false.

Answer: (a)

If C is selected, A must not be selected. So, the second accounts assistant selected must be B. If C is selected, E cannot be selected.

If F is selected, D cannot be selected. So, the three accounts officers selected must be F, G and H.

Thus, only one team is formed - B, C, F, G, H.

Answer: (a)

If C is selected, A cannot be selected. So, B must be selected. Now, if C is selected, 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.
