Manager Meeting Assignment

CMAT 2018 · Logical Reasoning · Hard · Logical Reasoning

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I are nine employees in a company, who go to meet two managers Ram and Deepak to talk to them about their Paris project. Each manager has time for only three employees. D has a priority and must be given preference by Ram or Deepak. F and B do not wish to go to the same manager. G goes to Ram only and H goes to Deepak only. C comes back saying that neither of the two managers has time to see him. A does not go with F and I does not go with E. B and I do not go together. If E, F and G go together and are seen by one of the managers, then which manager sees whom, assuming that C has opted out of the talks?

  1. A.

    Deepak - D, I, H or D, B, H

  2. B.

    Deepak - D, E, H or D, B, H

  3. C.

    Ram - A, I, H or N, I, H

  4. D.

    Ram - D, I, H or A, I, H

Answer

A

Explanation

Since E, F, G go together and G goes to Ram only, Ram sees {E, F, G}. Now Deepak must see 3 employees out of {A, B, D, H, I}:

  • H must go to Deepak.
  • A does not go with F (which is fine since F is with Ram).
  • B and I do not go together.
  • D must be included if possible. Thus, Deepak can see {D, I, H} or {D, B, H}.
