Question

In a certain zoo, animals are kept in enclosures. There are 5 enclosures: X, Y, Z, P and Q. There are 5 species of animals: Lion, Panther, Bison, Bear and Deer. There are 2 animals of each species. Two animals of the same species cannot be put into the same enclosure. The enclosures are looked after by attendants: Jairam, Makhan, Harihar, Snehit and Revati. The Lion and the Deer cannot be together in the same enclosure, The Panther cannot be together with any of the deer or the bison. Snehit can attend to Panthers, Bisons, Bears and Deers. Makhan attends to an enclosure having a Lion and a Panther. Jairam attends to an enclosure with a deer or a Lion or a Bison. The enclosures X and Y are allocated to Makhan, Jairam and Revati respectively. The enclosures X and Q are placed at either end and they have animals belonging to the same pair of species. The enclosures Z and P also have animals belonging to the same pair of species. Snehit looks after:

• A. Bison and Bear
• B. Bison and Deer
• C. Bear and Lion
• D. Bear and Panther

Hint:

In such allocation problems, list all constraints and process the information logically to assign tasks and responsibilities.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

By analyzing the constraints and attending to the fact that Snehit can manage Panthers, Bisons, Bears, and Deers, the only feasible pair for Snehit to look after, given the allocations, is Bear and Panther.
