The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

We analyze based on the clues: - Ashiana: L (pink), M ⇒ 2 people here. - J in Basera (yellow) and only one more person in Basera ⇒ Basera has 2 people. - I (black) is not in Basera, so I is in Ashiana or Gharonda. - J ≠ same building as G or K ⇒ G and K ≠ Basera. - Gharonda has at least one person wearing white. - K ≠ blue. So only G, H, I, J, L, M remain for blue. - Gharonda must have 3 people (total 7 − Ashiana(2) − Basera(2) = 3 people in Gharonda). Let’s assume: - Ashiana: L (pink), M - Basera: J (yellow), H (green) ⇒ from clue - Gharonda: G, K, I Now we have: - G, K, I in Gharonda - One wears white ⇒ say K wears white - K ≠ blue - I wears black ⇒ G remains for blue shirt in Gharonda So, G is wearing the blue shirt.
