Explanation :
The directly given data is as shown:
Faculty | Company | Month |
A | Colgate | Mar |
B | P&G/HUL | |
C | Adani/HUL | |
D | RB | Jan/May |
E | Reliance | |
F | ||
G | Patanjali/Reliance |
B is the first to conduct her workshop. Hence, B’s workshop is in January. Therefore, from the table, D = May.
Also, D conducts the workshop immediately before E i.e. E’s workshop is immediately after D, hence, E’s workshop is in June.
C is the last to conduct the workshop. Since the workshops are from January to July, C conducts her workshop in July.
Faculty | Company | Month |
A | Colgate | Mar |
B | P&G/HUL | Jan |
C | Adani/HUL | Jul |
D | RB | May |
E | Reliance | Jun |
F | ||
G | Patanjali/Reliance |
F conducts her workshop only after March i.e. from April to July. From above, May to July are already booked. Hence, F’s workshop is in April. The only remaining month is February, hence, G’s workshop will be in February.
Faculty | Company | Month |
A | Colgate | Mar |
B | P&G/HUL | Jan |
C | Adani/HUL | Jul |
D | RB | May |
E | Reliance | Jun |
F | Apr | |
G | Patanjali/Reliance | Feb |
Now, since E is from Reliance, G has to be from Patanjali.
Since F is not from Adani or HUL, F has to be from P&G. Hence, B is from HUL and C is from Adani. Thus, the final table is:
Faculty | Company | Month |
A | Colgate | Mar |
B | HUL | Jan |
C | Adani | Jul |
D | RB | May |
E | Reliance | Jun |
F | P&G | Apr |
G | Patanjali | Feb |
Hence, option (d).

Explanation :
Some data is directly given.
Captain | VC | House | Color |
A | S | Ashoka | |
B | Red | ||
C | P | ||
D | Shivaji | ||
E | Harshvardhan |
Since Q’s captain wears the red unifrom, B is Q’s captain.
Since R wears yellow and D does not like yellow. D-R cannot be a pair of Captain & Vice Captain. Hence, R is E’s vice captain and T is D’s vice captain.
Captain | VC | House | Color |
A | S | Ashoka | |
B | Q | Red | |
C | P | ||
D | T | Shivaji | |
E | R | Harshvardhan |
Since C and P are not from Chandrapugta house, C belongs to Prithviraj (only possibility). Hence, B belongs to Chandrapugta.
Captain | VC | House | Color |
A | S | Ashoka | |
B | Q | Chandragupta | Red |
C | P | Prithviraj | |
D | T | Shivaji | |
E | R | Harshvardhan |
D does not wear red and yellow. D’s vice captain does not waer any colour that starts with the letter b i.e. black or blue. Hence, D wears white.
Also, R wears yellow. Hence, A and C wear black and blue, in no specific order. Thus, the final combinations are:
Captain | VC | House | Color |
A | S | Ashoka | Black/Blue |
B | Q | Chandragupta | Red |
C | P | Prithviraj | Blue/Black |
D | T | Shivaji | White |
E | R | Harshvardhan | Yellow |
Hence, option (e).
