Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the q...
Incorrect Combinations:

a) 2 - ABC - Blue:
- From the given information, house number 2 is not a Brown colored house. It is stated that the colors of even-numbered houses are Brown and Blue.
- Therefore, the combination of house number 2 being Blue in the ABC colony is incorrect.

b) 9 - GHI - Red:
- It is mentioned that house number 9 is in the XYZ colony and it is not a Red colored house.
- Hence, the combination of house number 9 being Red in the GHI colony is incorrect.

c) 5 - PQR - White:
- Dia's house is White and not in the PQR colony.
- Thus, the combination of house number 5 being White in the PQR colony is incorrect.

d) 12 - XYZ - Brown:
- The color of the house number 12 is not specified in the given information.
- Therefore, the combination of house number 12 being Brown in the XYZ colony cannot be determined as incorrect.

e) All of these:
- Considering the information provided, options a, b, and c have been identified as incorrect combinations based on the given conditions.
- However, option d cannot be confirmed as incorrect due to the lack of specific information regarding the color of house number 12 in the XYZ colony.
In conclusion, the incorrect combinations are a) 2 - ABC - Blue, b) 9 - GHI - Red, and c) 5 - PQR - White.
