Question

Chetan invited five friends—Ritwik, Avantika, Darshan, Parul and Shweta. Each gifted him a different item: jacket, watch, shirt, video game, headphone. As return gifts, Chetan gave each a different item: goggles, bag, pen, mobile case, diary.
[2pt] i) Avantika gifted the shirt but did not receive a bag.
ii) Shweta did not gift the headphone but received the mobile case.
iii) Neither Ritwik nor Darshan gifted the jacket; whoever gifted it received the goggles in return.
iv) The video-game giver received a diary or a bag.
v) Darshan did not gift a watch but received a pen.
vi) Shweta did not gift a video game and Ritwik did not receive a diary.
Who received \textbf{goggles as a return gift?}

• A. Avantika
• B. Ritwik
• C. Parul
• D. Darshan

Hint:

When a rule ties one gift directly to a specific return (e.g., “jacket \(\Rightarrow\) goggles”), first find who must have given that gift by eliminating others; the linked return follows immediately.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Use the jacket–goggles link.
From (iii): jacket \(\Rightarrow\) return gift is goggles; also Ritwik \(\neq\) jacket and Darshan \(\neq\) jacket. Step 2: Eliminate other candidates for jacket.
Avantika already gifted shirt (i) \(\Rightarrow\) not jacket.
Shweta did not gift headphone (ii) and not video game (vi), but no need to consider because one person left. Step 3: Identify the jacket giver.
The only person who can gift the jacket is Parul. Hence, by (iii), Parul received goggles as the return gift. \[ \boxed{\text{Parul received the goggles.}} \]
