Difficulty: EasyAnalytical Puzzles and Grouping

Four health officers—Aman, Bina, Cyrus, and Divya—are assigned to inspect four different food stalls: P, Q, R, and S, such that each officer inspects exactly one stall. Aman inspects stall P. Cyrus inspects stall Q. Bina does not inspect stall Q or stall S. Which food stall does Divya inspect?

  1. A
    Food stall P
  2. B
    Food stall Q
  3. C
    Food stall R
  4. Food stall SAnswer

Answer

Divya inspects food stall S.
Based on the given clues, Aman inspects stall P and Cyrus inspects stall Q. Bina cannot inspect stall Q or stall S, so Bina must inspect stall R. Consequently, Divya is assigned the remaining stall S.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify direct assignments from the given conditions.
Aman inspects stall P, and Cyrus inspects stall Q.
These assignments are explicitly stated in the problem statement.
2
Determine Bina's stall assignment by process of elimination.
Bina inspects stall R.
Stalls P and Q are occupied by Aman and Cyrus. Bina cannot inspect stall S, leaving stall R as Bina's only option.
3
Assign the remaining stall to Divya.
Divya inspects stall S.
Stalls P, Q, and R are assigned to Aman, Cyrus, and Bina respectively, leaving stall S for Divya.
