Correct Answer E, P, B, R
Given:
A team of five persons is to be selected from amongst:
Five girls: A, B, C, D, and E.
Four boys: P, Q, R, and S.
Q is already a selected member.
1. S and Q cannot be together
⇒ As Q is already selected, S cannot be there in the team.
Therefore,
Option 1: P, S, C, A → Cannot form a team.
Option 2: R, S, C, A → Cannot form a team.
Option 3: S, R, D, C → Cannot form a team.
2. E and P have to be together.
3. B and S cannot be together.
⇒ As E and P have to be together and B and S cannot be together.
Therefore,
Option 4: E, P, B, R → Can form a possible team.
Therefore, after Q, the other 4 selected team members are E, P, B, R
Hence, the correct answer is "E, P, B, R".
