The industrialist, D and A are friends of one another but two of these prefer coffee to tea. V. The horticulturist is C’s brother. Which of the following groups includes a person who likes tea but not an advocate? Correct Answer AD

III) Three of them A, C and Advocate prefer tea to coffee and two of them B and the journalist prefer coffee to tea.

Tea - A, C, and Advocate

Coffee - B and Journalist

IV) The industrialist, D and A are friends of one another but two of these prefer coffee to tea.

Only 2 people prefer coffee from statement III.

It means from III and IV, as A likes Tea therefore industrialist and D, 2 people like coffee.

Coffee - B and Journalist

Coffee - D and Industrialist

It means B is Industrialist and D is Journalist

A, C and Advocate prefer tea it means E is an advocate.

V) The horticulturist is C’s brother. It means A is a horticulturist and brother of C.

Clearly, now that we know that E is the advocate, we can eliminate two DE and CE from the correct answer. Also, both B and D like coffee.

Hence, AD is the pair in which A likes Tea and neither of them is an advocate.
