There are four persons 'A' 'B', 'C' and 'D'. One of them is lecturer and plays Football and Cricket. 'A' and 'B' are Accountants. 'A' plays Badminton. Both the Accountants are Swimmers. 'D' is Bank clerk. One Accountant also plays Tennis. The bank clerk plays Carrom and is a Swimmer. All the four persons plays two games each and follow one profession.
Who plays Badminton and is an Accountant?
Show answer & explanation
From the passage, we know that A is an Accountant and A plays Badminton. These two facts directly satisfy the question requirement. B is also an Accountant but there is no mention of B playing Badminton, and C and D are not Accountants (C is the lecturer, D is the bank clerk).
Step-by-step Derivation:
Step 1: Identify all Accountants: A and B are stated to be Accountants.
Step 2: Identify who plays Badminton: A plays Badminton (explicitly stated).
Step 3: Match criteria: We need someone who is both an Accountant AND plays Badminton.
Step 4: A satisfies both conditions: A is an Accountant and A plays Badminton.
Step 5: Verify other options: B is an Accountant but plays Tennis (not Badminton). C is the lecturer. D is the bank clerk.
Conclusion: A is the answer.
