Hint:

For such reasoning questions, always identify statements that confirm or build upon each other sequentially — especially those involving relationships and actions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Let's check the logical connection in option (a): Statement A: Mary is John’s wife.
Statement D: Husband and wives danced the last waltz.
Statement F: John danced last with Mary.
From A and D, we establish that Mary and John (being husband and wife) are among those who danced the last waltz.
From F, we know that John danced last with Mary — consistent with A and D.
Hence, all three statements are tightly linked and logically reinforce each other. Now check the other options for completeness: Option (b) ABD: - A and D are valid together. - But B (Mary and John danced together) is very general and doesn’t necessarily connect with D (about dancing the last waltz). So B does not strongly link with D or A. Option (c) ACE: - A: Mary is John’s wife. - C: Mary wears John’s ring — this is a weak implication of being his wife but not definitive. - E: John loves Mary — again, not necessarily connected with the marriage or dancing context.
Logical link is weak. Option (d) AEF: - A: Mary is John’s wife. - E: John loves Mary — valid. - F: John danced last with Mary — fits, but E is emotionally descriptive, not action-based.
This is logically acceptable but slightly less tightly structured than ADF. Conclusion: ADF is the most logically coherent and contextually consistent set.
