ILLUSTRATION 4

Four brothers Rohan, Sohan, Mohan and Ganesh are at their annual family property fight sitting across a circular table. Their occupations are— author, biologist, chemist and doctor, but not necessarily in that order.

Ganesh starts by setting the agenda of the meeting and after him the doctor gives a long discourse of what is right and what is wrong. Rohan is sitting across the doctor and next to the chemist. Mohan is silent throughout the meeting and the chemist speaks only at the very end.

8. The profession of Rohan is

(a) Author (b) Biologist

(c) Doctor (d) Cannot be determined

9. Who among the following is the chemist?

(a) Sohan (b) Mohan

(c) Ganesh (d) Cannot be determined

Solution

The solution of the above question can be seen in the figure below. (Note the interpretation of the last statement - Mohan was silent throughout the meeting is that Mohan spoke only at the end.)

Based on the interpretations of the figure above we can answer the questions as:

8. Rohan could be the Author or the biologist. Hence, we cannot determine his profession. Option (d) is correct.

9. Mohan was the Chemist. Option (b) is correct.
