Hint:

Use elimination and matching strategies in logic puzzles. Start with direct clues and fill out fixed values first before exploring variable ones.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

From the given clues: - R → Bengaluru by Car - Q → Kolkata by Aeroplane - S → travelled by Boat - T → travelled by Train - Person who went to Delhi ≠ Boat - Mumbai is not connected by Bus to Delhi and Chennai ⇒ Person going to Delhi/Chennai ≠ Bus Now let's assign remaining persons, cities, and modes logically: - Q → Kolkata (fixed), by Aeroplane (fixed) - R → Bengaluru (fixed), by Car (fixed) - S → by Boat (fixed), so cannot go to Delhi ⇒ S ≠ Delhi - T → by Train (fixed) - That leaves P with Bus as remaining mode Remaining cities: Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad Now check each possibility: - Q – Aeroplane → correct (given) - S – Boat → correct (given) - P – Bus → possible if city ≠ Delhi or Chennai - T – Aeroplane → this is not possible because it contradicts the clue: T travelled by Train Hence, option (4) T – Aeroplane is incorrect.
