Group QuestionAnswer the following question based on the information g...
Ignore the four unoccupied flats on the three floors.
Since it is known that there are three allrounders and three batsmen, there can be only two bowlers.
Similarly, since both players on the second floor are bowlers, there are only two players on the second floor and three players each on the first and third floors.
Hence, there cannot be a batsman or allrounder on the second floor. Also, among the three allrounders, two live on the third floor.
Thus, the floor and category wise break-up is:
Floor 3-3 players : 2 allrounders + 1 batsman Floor 2-2 players : 2 bowlers
Floor 1-3 players : 1 allrounder + 2 batsmen
From 3 and 4, Sanket = bowler = second floor and Shyam = batsman = third floor and Praveen = bowler = second floor
Since Rahul is an allrounder and does not stay on the first floor, Rahul is on the third floor. Hence, Rahul = allrounder = third floor
Deepak and Rakesh are on the same floor and in the same category, but are not allrounders.
Based on the floor and category wise break-up obtained above, they can only be batsmen on the first floor.
Hence, Deepak = batsman = first floor and Rakesh = batsman = first floor
Since the three batsmen have been identified, the remaining two players i.e. Vikas and Mahesh have to be allrounders.
Since Mahesh is on the same floor as Rahul, Mahesh = allrounder = third floor and Vikas = allrounder = first floor
The entire player-wise arrangement is as shown below:
Among the players mentioned, only Vikas is neither a batsmen nor a bowler.
Hence, option 4.
