Difficulty: MediumAnalytical Puzzles and Grouping

Four state government panel chairs—Karan, Meera, Nikhil, and Pooja—are assigned to lead four distinct state development projects: Smart City, Green Energy, Rural Housing, and Digital Literacy, such that each chairperson leads exactly one project.

The assignments follow these conditions:
1. Meera is assigned to neither Smart City nor Digital Literacy.
2. The chairperson assigned to Rural Housing is neither Karan nor Nikhil.
3. Nikhil is assigned to Green Energy.
4. Karan is assigned to Digital Literacy.

Based on the information above, match each chairperson with their correctly assigned state development project.

  • KaranDigital Literacy
  • MeeraRural Housing
  • NikhilGreen Energy
  • PoojaSmart City

Answer

Karan matches with Digital Literacy, Meera matches with Rural Housing, Nikhil matches with Green Energy, and Pooja matches with Smart City.
By systematically eliminating impossible project assignments using the negative constraints alongside direct statements, Karan is matched to Digital Literacy, Nikhil to Green Energy, Meera to Rural Housing, and Pooja to Smart City.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify direct assignments from the given conditions.
Karan is assigned to Digital Literacy (Condition 4), and Nikhil is assigned to Green Energy (Condition 3).
Direct statements provide immediate fixed points in the matching grid.
2
Determine Meera's assignment by evaluating remaining options.
Meera is assigned to Rural Housing.
Meera cannot lead Smart City or Digital Literacy (Condition 1), and Green Energy is taken by Nikhil. Thus, Rural Housing is her only viable assignment.
3
Assign the remaining chairperson to the last remaining project.
Pooja is assigned to Smart City.
Smart City is the only project left unassigned after fulfilling all constraints.
