There are two married couples in the group. C is the Doctor and earns more than the Engineer and the Lawyer. E is married to the CA and she earns the least. No lady is either Lawyer or Engineer. B, the Teacher, earns less, than A, the Banker. G is married to B and he earns more than D and A. F is not the Lawyer. The CA earns less than the Lawyer but more than the Banker.

What is the profession of F ?


A) Engineer

B) CA

C) Engineer or CA

D) Data inadequate

E) None of these

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

B is a teacher, A is a banker and C is a doctor. E is female and hence neither lawyer nor engineer. So, E must be an architect or CA. But, CA is her husband. So, E is architect. One Couple is G and B. The other couple is E  and CA . Now G earns more than D and A.

So, we have G > D > A  ........(i)

Also, the CA earns less than the lawyer but more than the banker.

So, we have Lawyer > CA > Banker  ...............(ii)

Since A is a banker, So comparing (I) and (ii) we conclude D is CA, G is a Lawyer and F is Engineer.
