Correct option is B
Given:
Persons: A, B, C, D
Professions: Lawyer, Doctor, Teacher, Journalist
Drinks: Tea, Coffee, Lemonade, Milk
Solution:
Clues:
- Neither the lawyer nor the teacher drinks milk
- B drinks coffee
- A is the teacher
- C is the doctor and drinks tea
Step-by-Step Deduction:
From (3) and (4):
- A = Teacher
- C = Doctor, drinks Tea
From (2):
- B drinks Coffee
From (1):
- Lawyer ≠ Milk
- Teacher ≠ Milk → A ≠ Milk
Now assign drinks so that no one repeats and all 4 drinks are used.
Step 1: Drinks assigned so far:
- C → Tea
- B → Coffee
- So, Tea and Coffee are taken.
Remaining drinks: Lemonade, Milk
Remaining people for drinks: A, D
A ≠ Milk (teacher can't drink milk) → So A drinks Lemonade
So D drinks Milk
So far:
Now assign professions to B and D from remaining: Lawyer, Journalist
We already have:
- A → Teacher
- C → Doctor
From clue (1): Lawyer ≠ Milk → D ≠ Lawyer
So D must be Journalist, and B = Lawyer
Final mapping:
Evaluate each option:
A. A drinks lemonade → True
B. B is the journalist → False (B is the Lawyer)
C. The lawyer drinks coffee → True (B is the lawyer, drinks coffee)
D. D drinks milk → True
Final Answer: (B) B is the journalist is FALSE.
