Answer : In a team of six, if five boys are to be selected, then both A and D together are selected. If C is selected, a girl Q will be selected.From B and E, one has to be selected. So, we select E because B will be accompanied by a girl. The fifth boy will be F. So, the only girl will be Q in the team A, C, D, E, F, Q. Hence, the answer is (b).
Question 2 : If including P, the team has three girls, the members are
(a) B, C, F, Q, R (b) A, D, E, S, T (c) A, D, B, S, T (d) B, F R, S, T
Answer : If P is included, then D and hence A cannot be included. If Q is selected, C has to be selected and so S cannot be selected. T goes with S. So, T is also not selected. The third girl can be R. With R, B will be selected but with B, E cannot be selected. So, the sixth member can be F only i.e. the team becomes P, Q, C, R, B, F.
Hence, the answer is (a).
