Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall the facts from the passage
We have four alumni: Arvind, Biswajeet, Chinmay, and Dhruv. Their professions are MD, Doctor, Lawyer, and Engineer. Their starting salaries were ₹40,000, ₹50,000, ₹60,000, and ₹70,000 in 1981. Some direct clues were provided about salaries and professions.

Step 2: Use the first clue
The MD of a private company earned the most, which means the MD’s starting salary was ₹70,000.

Step 3: Use the second clue
Arvind earned more than Biswajeet. This tells us that Arvind’s starting salary is higher than Biswajeet’s (Arvind > Biswajeet).

Step 4: Use the third clue
The doctor earned more than Dhruv, who is the engineer. So:
Doctor’s salary > Dhruv’s salary.

Step 5: Use the fourth clue
Biswajeet is the lawyer. He did not start on ₹50,000, and Dhruv also did not start on ₹50,000. So the ₹50,000 salary must belong to someone else (Arvind or Chinmay).

Step 6: Eliminate possibilities step by step
- MD = ₹70,000 (highest salary).
- Lawyer (Biswajeet) ≠ ₹50,000. His salary must be lower than Arvind’s (because Arvind > Biswajeet).
- Engineer (Dhruv) ≠ ₹50,000. So Dhruv must be either ₹40,000 or ₹60,000.
- Doctor must earn more than Dhruv. If Dhruv = ₹40,000, then Doctor must be ₹50,000 or ₹60,000. If Dhruv = ₹60,000, then Doctor would have to be ₹70,000, but that is already taken by the MD. So Dhruv cannot be ₹60,000. Thus, Dhruv = ₹40,000 (engineer), and Doctor > ₹40,000.

Step 7: Fix Doctor’s salary
Doctor’s salary must therefore be either ₹50,000 or ₹60,000. This fits the condition Doctor > Engineer (₹50,000 or ₹60,000 > ₹40,000).

Step 8: Match the names logically
- Arvind > Biswajeet. So if Biswajeet is on ₹50,000 or ₹40,000, Arvind must be above him.
- But Biswajeet ≠ ₹50,000, so Biswajeet must be the one with ₹60,000 (lawyer).
- Arvind, being higher than Biswajeet, must then be the MD with ₹70,000.
- That leaves Chinmay to take the role of Doctor with ₹50,000.

Step 9: Verify consistency
- Arvind (MD, ₹70,000).
- Biswajeet (Lawyer, ₹60,000).
- Dhruv (Engineer, ₹40,000).
- Chinmay (Doctor, ₹50,000).

All conditions are satisfied: • MD has the highest salary (Arvind ₹70,000).
• Arvind > Biswajeet (70,000 > 60,000).
• Doctor > Engineer (50,000 > 40,000).
• Biswajeet ≠ 50,000, Dhruv ≠ 50,000. Correct.

Step 10: Conclusion
Therefore, Chinmay’s current profession is Doctor.

Final Answer: The correct option is (C): Doctor

Answer 2

Step 1: Recall the facts
We know the four salaries are ₹40,000, ₹50,000, ₹60,000, and ₹70,000. The professions are MD, Doctor, Lawyer, and Engineer. From the conditions:
- MD = ₹70,000 (highest salary).
- Arvind > Biswajeet.
- Doctor > Engineer (Dhruv).
- Biswajeet is the Lawyer, and Lawyer ≠ ₹50,000.
- Dhruv ≠ ₹50,000 (he is Engineer).

Step 2: Fix Engineer's salary
Dhruv cannot have ₹50,000, so his salary must be ₹40,000 or ₹60,000.
If Dhruv = ₹60,000, then Doctor must be > 60,000, which forces Doctor = ₹70,000. But ₹70,000 is already taken by the MD. Contradiction. Therefore, Dhruv = ₹40,000 (Engineer).

Step 3: Fix Doctor's salary
Doctor must earn more than Engineer (₹40,000). Hence Doctor = ₹50,000 or ₹60,000.

Step 4: Position the Lawyer
Biswajeet is the Lawyer. He ≠ ₹50,000. He also cannot be ₹40,000 (because that is already Dhruv). Therefore, Lawyer must be ₹60,000.

Step 5: Check consistency
- Arvind must earn more than Biswajeet. If Biswajeet = ₹60,000, then Arvind must be the MD with ₹70,000. - Doctor can now be ₹50,000. That works perfectly. - Dhruv = Engineer = ₹40,000. - Chinmay is Doctor = ₹50,000. All conditions are satisfied.

Step 6: Conclusion
Hence, the Lawyer’s starting salary was ₹60,000.

Final Answer: The correct option is (C): 60,000

Answer 3

Step 1: Recall the fixed facts
The highest starting salary among the four was ₹70,000. This amount was allotted to the MD, as stated in the passage ("the present MD of a private company earned the most").

Step 2: Link names and professions
From earlier deductions:
- Arvind is the MD with ₹70,000.
- Biswajeet is the Lawyer with ₹60,000.
- Chinmay is the Doctor with ₹50,000.
- Dhruv is the Engineer with ₹40,000.

Step 3: Apply the condition Arvind > Biswajeet
This is satisfied because Arvind (₹70,000) > Biswajeet (₹60,000).

Step 4: Verify consistency
- Doctor (₹50,000) > Engineer (₹40,000). Condition satisfied.
- Lawyer not at ₹50,000, correct (Lawyer is at ₹60,000).
- Dhruv not at ₹50,000, correct (Dhruv is at ₹40,000).
Everything matches perfectly.

Step 5: Conclusion
Since the MD had the highest starting salary of ₹70,000, and Arvind is the MD, Arvind received the highest starting salary.

Final Answer: The correct option is (A): Arvind
