Read the following passage and answer the question
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 males will be there in the team. For a team of four, all players must be able to play with each other. But, B cannot play with W, C can not play with Z, and W cannot play with Y.

If Y is selected and B is rejected, then the team will consist of which one of the following groups?

विकल्प

• A, C, W, and Y

• A, C, X, and Y

• A, C, Y, and Z

• A, W, Y and Z

Answer 1

A, C, X, and Y
Explanation:
According to the question

Males			Females
A	B	C	W	X	Y	Z
—	✓	χ	χ	—	—	—
—	—	✓	✓	—	χ	χ

From the question, it is clear that B is rejected. It means from males, both A and C must be the part of the team as it is given that at least two males must be there in the team. Now, from the given table, it is clear that, if C is selected Z must be rejected. So, Z must not be part of the team.
It is also given in the question that Y is selected. From the above table, it is clear that if Y is selected, then W must be rejected. So, from females, X and Y will be part of the team.
As a result, the team will consist of A, C, X, and Y.
