Four students — Ashish, Dhanraj, Felix and Sameer sat for the Common Entrance Exam for Management (CEEM). One student got admission offers from three NIMs (National Institutes of Management), another from two NIMs, the third from one NIM, while the fourth got none. Below are some of the facts about who got admission offers from how many NIMs and what is their educational background:

I. The one who is an engineer didn't get as many admissions as Ashish. II. The one who got offer for admissions in two NIMs isn't Dhanraj nor is he a chartered accountant. III. Sameer is an economist. IV. Dhanraj isn't an engineer and received more admission offers than Ashish. V. The doctor got the most number of admission offers.

  1. A.

    Ashish is a chartered accountant and got offer for admission in three NIMs.

  2. B.

    Dhanraj is a doctor and got admission offer in one NIM.

  3. C.

    Sameer is an economist who got admission offers in two NIMs.

  4. D.

    Felix who is not an engineer did not get any offer for admission.

Answer

C

Explanation

From Statement I, Ashish is not an engineer, and Ashish got more offers than the engineer (so Ashish has at least 1 offer). From Statement IV, Dhanraj is not an engineer and received more offers than Ashish. Thus, Dhanraj must have 3 offers (doctor), Ashish has 1 offer (CA), Sameer has 2 offers (economist), and Felix has 0 offers (engineer). Therefore, Sameer is an economist who got admission offers in two NIMs.
