Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Assign directly given information
- \(B \) Carrom, Banjo
- \(G \) Hockey, Sitar (from “Hockey → Sitar”)
- \(A \) Badminton, Flute
- \(E \) Bridge, Instrument not Harmonium or Tabla
- \(C \) Harmonium
- \(F \) Guitar, not Table Tennis, not Lawn Tennis Step 2: Remaining games
Games already fixed: Carrom (B), Hockey (G), Badminton (A), Bridge (E) Remaining games: Table Tennis, Football, Lawn Tennis Step 3: Place F
F cannot play Table Tennis or Lawn Tennis → F must play Football. \[ F \text{Football, Guitar} \] Step 4: Place C and D
Remaining games for C and D: Table Tennis, Lawn Tennis. From “Lawn Tennis player does not play Tabla” — no conflict here. Assign: \[ C \text{Table Tennis, Harmonium} \] \[ D \text{Lawn Tennis} \] Step 5: Final Answer
D plays Lawn Tennis. \[ \boxed{\text{Lawn Tennis}} \]
