Question:

Answer the questions based on the following information.
Mr Bankatlal acted as a judge for the beauty contest. There were four participants, viz. Ms Andhra Pradesh, Ms Uttar Pradesh, Ms West Bengal and Ms Maharashtra. Mrs Bankatlal, who was very anxious about the result, asked him about it as soon as he was back home. Mr Bankatlal just told that the one who was wearing the yellow saree won the contest. When Mrs Bankatlal pressed for further details, he elaborated as follows: All of them were sitting in a row.
All of them wore sarees of different colours, viz. green, yellow, white, red. There was only one runner-up and she was sitting beside Ms. Maharashtra. The runner-up was wearing the green saree. Ms West Bengal was not sitting at the ends and was not the runner up. The winner and the runner-up are not sitting adjacent to each other. Ms Maharashtra was wearing white saree. Ms Andhra Pradesh was not wearing the green saree. Participants wearing yellow saree and white saree were at the ends.
Who wore the red saree?

Show Hint

When solving seating arrangement problems, always assign known constraints (such as who is the runner-up or who is not sitting at the ends) to reduce the possibilities step-by-step.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

From the given information, we know: - The runner-up wore the green saree and she sat beside Ms Maharashtra. - Ms West Bengal did not sit at the ends and was not the runner-up. - The winner and the runner-up were not sitting adjacent to each other. Since the runner-up is wearing the green saree, and Ms West Bengal cannot be at the ends or the runner-up, Ms West Bengal must be wearing the red saree, as all other saree colours are already assigned.
