Read the following information carefully to answer these 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 men will be there in 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.
1. | | If Y is selected and B is rejected, the team will consist of which one of the following groups? | | (a)A, C, W and Y | | (b)A, C, X and Y | | (c)A, C, Y and Z | | (d)A, W, Y and Z |
|
Answer is: BGiven that Y is selected. So option (a) is out. W cannot play with Y so option (d) is out. C cannot play with Z. Which means that option (c) is also out. Which means that the right answer is (b).
2. | | If B is selected and Y rejected, the team will consist of which one of the following groups? | | (a)A, B, C and W | | (b)A, B, C and Y | | (c)A, B, C and X | | (d)A, W, Y and Z |
|
Answer is: CGiven that B is selected and Y is rejected which means that option (d) is out. Given that cannot play with W which means option (a) is out. Also C cannot play with Z which means option (b) is out. The right answer is thus (c).
3. | | If all the three males are selected, then how many combination of four member teams are possible? | | (a)1 | | (b)2 | | (c)3 | | (d)4 |
|
Answer is: BIf all three males are selected then three of the team members are A, B and C. Now, W cannot be part of the team because she cannot play with B and Z cannot be selected because she cannot play with C. Hence, there can be only two combinations or four member teams i.e., ABCX and ABCY
