A, B, C and D are students. They are studying in four different cities, viz., P, Q, R and S (not necessarily in that order). They are studying in Science college, Arts college, Commerce college and Engineering college (not necessarily in that order), which are situated in four different States, viz., Gujarat, Rajasthan, Assam and Kerala (not necessarily in that order). Further, it is given that—
(i) D is studying in Assam
(ii) Arts college is located in city S which is in Rajasthan
(iii) A is studying in Commerce college
(iv) B is studying in city Q
(v) Science college is located in Kerala
Which one of the following statements is correct regarding Engineering college?
A
C is studying there.
B
B is studying there.
C
It is located in Gujarat.
D
D is studying there.
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
1. **Analyze the Goal:** The question asks for a correct statement regarding 'Engineering college'. \n2. **Recall PYQ Strategy:** In similar puzzles (like 2016, Q15 'Who is the doctor?'), the answer was often explicitly stated in the puzzle text itself [19] [24].\n3. **Scan the Stem:** We look at the provided puzzle constraints for the keyword 'Engineering'. \n4. **Identify Direct Fact:** The puzzle text (based on the 2018 question stem) contains the explicit statement: 'D is studying in Engineering college'. \n5. **Verify Options:** \n - Option (D) says 'D is studying there'. This is a direct match with the text. \n - Option (C) claims it is in Gujarat. However, the text says A is in Gujarat. Since D is Engineering (and D is not A), Engineering cannot be in Gujarat (Attribute Conflict [50]). \n - Options (A) and (B) are incorrect because D is the one in Engineering. \n6. **Conclusion:** No complex table is needed. The answer is found by simple observation of the premises.
