six persons A, B, C, D, E and F were playing a game of cards. A's father, mother and uncle were in the group. There were two women. B, the mother of A, got more points than her husband. D got more points than E but less than F. Niece of E got the lowest points. Father of A got more points than F but could not win the game.

Who is the husband of B ?

 


A) C

B) D

C) E

D) F

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

B the mother of A, got more points than her husband.

So, we have  B > B's husband  .........................(i)

Also, A's is father ie, B's husband, got more points than F.

So, we have B > B's husband > F   .........................(ii)

Now, D got more points than E but less than F.

 So, we have: F>D>E ..........................(iii)

Combining (ii) and (iii), we get: B > B's husband > F > D > E .....................(iv)

Further, it is given that A has an uncle and the niece of E got the lowest points. So, A is the niece of E and got the lowest points.

So, B > B's husband > F > D > E > A. Now, only C remains. So, C is B,s husband.

Thus, B>C>F>D>E>A.
