• B. BCD
• C. CDE
• D. None of the above

• B. B
• C. C
• D. None of the above
• A. B
• B. C
• C. D
• D. E

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Task: Identify which subgroup consists of only ladies, based on the given conditions.

Step 1 — Decode genders from statements:
• A and D are unmarried ladies (explicitly given).
• B is the brother of C ⇒ B is male.
• There is a married couple with E as the husband ⇒ E is male.
• Since A and D are unmarried, the wife in the married couple cannot be A or D. Therefore the wife must be C ⇒ C is a lady.

Conclusion on genders:
Ladies = {A, C, D}.
Men = {B, E}.

Step 2 — Cross-check with the game constraints (not strictly needed for this question, but ensures consistency):
• A and D do not play any games (given).
• No lady is a chess or badminton player (so only possible game for a lady is tennis).
• B is neither chess nor tennis ⇒ the only option left for B (if he plays) is badminton (which is allowed since B is male).
• With one badminton, one chess, one tennis overall, a consistent assignment is: B = badminton, E = chess, C = tennis, A & D = none. This remains consistent with all constraints and reaffirms that C is a lady.

Step 3 — Answer the option-type question:
The only all-ladies group is {A, C, D}.
If the provided options do not include {A, C, D}, then the correct choice must be “None of the above.”

Final Answer: The all-ladies set is {A, C, D}. Since this set is not among the listed groups, the correct option is (D) None of the above.

Answer 2

Step 1 — From the statements:
A and D are unmarried ladies and they do not play any games ⇒ A and D cannot be the wife of anyone.
There is a married couple with E as the husband ⇒ E is male and has a wife in the group.
B is the brother of C ⇒ B is male ⇒ B cannot be the wife.

Step 2 — Deduce who the wife is:
The only remaining person who can be the wife is C (since A and D are unmarried, and B is male).
∴ C is the wife of E.

Step 3 — Consistency check with game constraints (for completeness):
“No lady is a chess or badminton player.” A and D (ladies) play no games; C (lady) can at most be tennis. B is neither chess nor tennis ⇒ B must be badminton. Then E can be chess. This assignment is consistent and again leaves C as E’s wife.

Final Answer (by person): Wife of E = C.
Final Answer (by option given): Since the options apparently do not include “C,” the correct choice is (D) None of the above.

Answer 3

Goal: Identify the tennis player from A, B, C, D, E under the given constraints.

Facts from the passage:
1) A and D are unmarried ladies and do not play any games ⇒ A ≠ any game, D ≠ any game.
2) No lady is a chess player or a badminton player ⇒ any lady who plays must be at most the tennis player.
3) There is exactly one badminton player, one chess player, and one tennis player (three distinct people).
4) E is the husband in a married couple ⇒ E is male. A and D are unmarried, so the wife must be C ⇒ C is a lady.
5) B is the brother of C ⇒ B is male, and B is neither chess nor tennis ⇒ if B plays, he can only be badminton.

Deduction toward the tennis player:
• Ladies in the group = {A, C, D}. But A and D do not play any games. The only lady who could possibly play is C.
• Also, “no lady is chess or badminton,” so if any lady is a player, that lady must be the tennis player.
• Therefore, C must be the tennis player.

Consistency check (optional):
Assign B = badminton (since B is neither chess nor tennis). That leaves E for chess. A and D play none. All constraints are satisfied.

Final Answer: C is the tennis player. (Option B)
