Eight actors A, B, C, D, E, F, G, & H play for three different stage shows Dance 3+, DID and IGT and all of them wear eight different clothes viz. Sari, Hanfu, Kimono, Habnok, Sherwani, Tembel Hat, Sarong and Thawb not necessarily in the same order. At least two and not more than three actors play for the same stage show. B plays for DID and wears Sari. C wears Habnok but do not play for Dance 3+. No one from IGT wears Thawb. The only other person in same stage show with B wears Kimono. E wears Thawb and F wears Hanfu. H does not wear Kimono and plays for the same stage show with E. A and G both play for IGT. The one who plays for IGT does not wear Tembel Hat. G does not wear Sarong.

Q11. Which cloth does G wear?

Sarong

Sherwani

Tembel Hat

None of these

Cannot be determined

Solution:

First of all, place all the given condition according to their actors. B plays for DID and wears Sari. C wears Habnok but do not play for Dance 3+. The only other person in same stage show with B, wears Kimono. E wears Thawb and F wears Hanfu. A and G both play for IGT.

Now, the only other person in same stage show with B, wears Kimono. That means, only two artist plays in DID. H does not wear Kimono and plays for the same stage show with E. Now, we know DID is full, we have only two option for H and E that is either Dance 3+ or IGT but there is a condition that at least two and not more than three actors play for the same stage show and No one from IGT wears Thawb. So, H and E plays in Dance 3+. C wears Habnok but do not play for Dance 3+ that means he plays for IGT. The one who plays for IGT does not wear Tembel Hat that means H wears Tembel Hat. G does not wear Sarong then A wears Sarong and G wears Sherwani. Now only one artist is left who plays for DID, is D.
