Question 1
Six persons have distinct preferences across Brand, Sport, and Vehicle. Using the clues, determine the complete mapping and answer:
- Kaira does not prefer Kappa or Badminton.
- The one who prefers Iota drives Scooter.
- Cyrus plays Cricket, and the one who drives Van prefers Eta.
- Neither Xavier nor Laksh prefers Beta.
- The Table Tennis player does not drive Bus.
- If someone prefers Delta, then they do not play Hockey.
Question: Who drives the Bike?
CAT/GMAT-Style Multi-Parameter Table
Create a 6x4 table (Person x Brand x Sport x Vehicle).
Apply constraints in layers: negative exclusions first, then direct mappings, then conditional implications.
- Kaira does not prefer Kappa or Badminton.
- The one who prefers Iota drives Scooter.
- Cyrus plays Cricket, and the one who drives Van prefers Eta.
- Neither Xavier nor Laksh prefers Beta.
- The Table Tennis player does not drive Bus.
- If someone prefers Delta, then they do not play Hockey.
Continue elimination until each row has a unique triplet.
Verified final mapping:
Person | Brand | Sport | Vehicle
--- | --- | --- | ---
Kaira | Iota | Table Tennis | Bike
Yash | Kappa | Hockey | Van
Cyrus | Beta | Badminton | Bus
Xavier | Delta | Chess | Scooter
Laksh | Gamma | Cricket | Metro
Hina | Eta | Basketball | Car
Efficiency tip: Track constraints per attribute as sets; propagate implications ('If A then not B').
Verification:
- Each attribute used exactly once across persons.
- All conditional and negative clues hold.
- No contradictions; unique solution obtained.
