Difficulty: EasyAnalytical Puzzles and Grouping

Four municipal inspectors—Farhan, Geeta, Harish, and Ira��are allocated to monitor four distinct municipal wards: Ward 1, Ward 2, Ward 3, and Ward 4, such that each inspector monitors exactly one ward.

- Farhan is assigned to Ward 3.
- Geeta is assigned to an even-numbered ward, but not Ward 4.
- Harish is assigned to Ward 1.

Based on the given information, which ward is Ira assigned to?

  1. Ward 4Answer
  2. B
    Ward 2
  3. C
    Ward 3
  4. D
    Ward 1

Answer

Ward 4
By following simple elimination: Harish takes Ward 1 and Farhan takes Ward 3. The even-numbered wards are 2 and 4; since Geeta is not in Ward 4, Geeta must be in Ward 2. This leaves Ward 4 as the uniquely available ward for Ira.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify direct ward assignments from the given clues.
Farhan is assigned to Ward 3, and Harish is assigned to Ward 1.
These two statements provide explicit one-to-one matches.
2
Deduce Geeta's assigned ward by process of elimination.
Geeta is assigned to Ward 2.
The even-numbered wards are Ward 2 and Ward 4. Since Geeta cannot be in Ward 4, Geeta must be assigned to Ward 2.
3
Determine Ira's ward assignment by elimination of all filled positions.
Ira is assigned to Ward 4.
Wards 1, 2, and 3 are already assigned to Harish, Geeta, and Farhan respectively. The only unassigned ward left for Ira is Ward 4.
