A motorcycle workshop owner had dismantled some motorcycles, so as to get three varieties of brakes - B1, B2 and B3, four varieties of Engines - SL, SK, EZ and RX, and three varieties of tires - MRF, BS and MCN. It was further known that B1 cannot be with SL or SK. EZ must be with B3. MRF must be with SL and vice versa. MCN or BS cannot be with SK. If B2 brakes are to be fitted, then which of the following must also be used?
1) SK engine and MCN tyres.
2) MCN tyres and SK engine or RX engine.
3) SL engine and MRF tyres.
4) None of these.
1) SK engine and MCN tyres.
2) MCN tyres and SK engine or RX engine.
3) SL engine and MRF tyres.
4) None of these.
Answer
If B2 brakes are to be fitted, statement 3 i.e., SL engine and MRF tires must also be used.The given choices to be used along with B2 brakes are
1) SK engine and MCN tires.
2) MCN tires and SK engine or RX engine.
3) SL engine and MRF tires.
4) None of these.
The given observations are
A) B1 cannot be with SL or SK.
B) EZ must be with B3.
C) MRF must be with SL and vice versa.
D) MCN or BS cannot be with SK.
From observation A, brake B1 must be with engines EZ or RX (since it cannot be with SL or SK). But from observation B, engine EZ must be with B3. Hence brake B1 must be with RX.
Thus B2 must be with either engine SL or engine SK. If engine SK is selected, we cannot use either of tires MCN or BS from observation D. MRF tires cannot be used with SK engine because MRF must be with SL and vice versa from observation C.
Therefore if brake B2 is used, engine SL along with tires MRF must be used.
