Read the following passage and answer the questions :
A tennis coach is trying to put together a team of four players for the forthcoming tournament. For this, 7 players are available : males A, B and C and females W, X, Y and Z. All players have equal capability and at least 2 males will have to be there in the team. For a team of four, all players must be able to play with each other. But, B cannot play with W, C cannot play with Z and W cannot play with Y.
Question: 1

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Given the conditions, we need to form a team of four players from the available players: A, B, C (males) and W, X, Y, Z (females), with at least 2 males and ensuring players can play together. The constraints are:
  • B and W can't play together.
  • C and Z can't play together.
  • W and Y can't play together.
We know that Y is selected, and B is rejected. We need to select additional players such that no constraints are violated:
  1. Select A:
    • No constraints broken; A can play with Y.
  2. We need one more male to satisfy the male constraint. C is the only remaining male after rejecting B:
    • C is selected, he can play with Y.
  3. Finally, one more player is needed to complete the team of four. X is the remaining option:
    • No constraints are broken, as X can play with A, C, and Y.
Thus, the team will consist of A, C, X, and Y.
Selected PlayersExplanation
ANo conflicts with Y
CFulfills male requirement and no conflict with Y
XNo conflicts with selected players
The team is therefore: A, C, X, and Y.

Question: 2

If B is selected and Y is rejected, then the team will consist of which of the following groups ?

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

To determine the team composition given the constraints, follow these logical steps:
  1. Select B: Since player B is selected, according to the given constraints, player W cannot be on the team (B cannot play with W).
  2. Reject Y: It is stated that Y is rejected.
  3. Minimum Males Requirement: At least 2 males are needed. B is already selected, so we need to choose either A or C. Let's choose C.
  4. Verify Compatibility: C cannot play with Z. Hence, Z cannot be on the team.
  5. Forming the Team: So far, we have chosen males B and C. We need two females to complete the team.
  6. Since W and Y are both ruled out (W cannot be with B, Y is rejected), and Z cannot be with C, only female X remains as a viable option.
  7. Select A: With B, C, and X selected, the only available male left is A.
The team is formed as: A, B, C, and X.
The correct answer is:
A, B, C and X

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

To solve the problem of determining how many four-member teams can be formed when all three males (A, B, C) are selected, we can follow these logical steps:
  • We need to select one additional female player to complete the team of four since we already have A, B, and C. The available females are W, X, Y, and Z.
  • However, we must consider the play compatibility constraints:
    • B cannot play with W.
    • C cannot play with Z.
  • Thus, the only feasible combinations with the remaining females are:
    • A, B, C, X
    • A, B, C, Y
  • So, there are two possible combinations when all three males are selected.
Therefore, the correct answer is 2.
