Read the following information carefully and answer the questions
that follow
(1) There is group of five persons - P, Q, R, S and T.
(2) One of them is a horticulturist, one is a physicist, one is a journalist, one is an industrialist and one is
an advocate.
(3) Three of them - P, R and advocate prefer tea to coffee and two of them –Q and the journalist prefer
coffee to tea.
(4) The industrialist, S and P are friends to one another but two of these prefer coffee to tea.
(5) The horticulturist is R's brother.

Who is a horticulturist?

Solution

From (4), among industrialist, S and P, exactly two prefer coffee. From (3), P prefers tea, so the industrialist and S must be the two coffee drinkers. From (3) again, the only coffee drinkers are Q and the journalist. Hence industrialist = Q and journalist = S. The horticulturist is R’s brother, so he is different from R. Horticulturist cannot be Q (industrialist) or S (journalist), so it must be P.
