Test: Team Formation - 2 - Question 3

Direction: At Pioneer Career Kolkata six students A, B, C, D, E and F aspire to be a member of organizing team of New Year Party The team should have at least two people with following conditions.

(i) If the size of the team is less than 4 then D and F cannot be selected together.
(ii) If B is selected then D should also be selected while E should be rejected.
(iii) If A is selected then exactly one from B and C should also be selected.

Q. What could be the strength of team if A and C are always part of the team?

Detailed Solution for Test: Team Formation - 2 - Question 3

To determine the possible team strength when A and C are always part of the team, we need to consider the given conditions:

(i) If the size of the team is less than 4, then D and F cannot be selected together. (ii) If B is selected, then D should also be selected, while E should be rejected. (iii) If A is selected, then exactly one from B and C should also be selected. (iv) If C is selected, then E should also be selected, while F should be rejected.

Given that A and C are always part of the team, let's evaluate:

  1. From condition (iv):

    • If C is selected, then E must be selected and F must be rejected.
    • Therefore, E must be in the team, and F cannot be in the team.
  2. From condition (iii):

    • If A is selected, then exactly one from B and C should also be selected.
    • Since C is already selected, B cannot be selected.

So, with A and C in the team, E must also be in the team, and B and F cannot be in the team.

The remaining candidate to consider is D.

  • If D is selected, the team consists of A, C, E, and D. This makes the team strength 4.
  • If D is not selected, the team consists of A, C, and E. This makes the team strength 3.

So, the possible strengths of the team, with A and C always part of it, are 3 or 4.

The correct answer is: 

       4. 3 or 4

Test: Team Formation - 2 - Question 4

Direction: At Pioneer Career Kolkata six students A, B, C, D, E and F aspire to be a member of organizing team of New Year Party The team should have at least two people with following conditions.

(ii) If B is selected then D should also be selected while E should be rejected.
(iii) If A is selected then exactly one from B and C should also be selected.
(iv) If C is selected then E should also be selected while F should be rejected.

Q. If B and F are not selected in the team then who should definitely be selected?

Detailed Solution for Test: Team Formation - 2 - Question 4

Lets consider the different cases here
Case (i) Teams with 2 members :
A cannot be a member of any such team as otherwise at least one of B and C must be selected ( From condition (ii) and if B is selected then D also and if C is selected then E also hence in this case number of teams would be more than Possible teams are:

Case (iii) Teams with 4 members : Possible teams with 4 members are (A, B, D, F), (A, C, E, D)
