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.

Which of the following groups include a person who likes tea but is not an advocate?

Solution

We already have: Q = industrialist (coffee), S = journalist (coffee). Professions left for P, R, T are horticulturist, physicist, advocate. From the data, advocate must be different from P and R, so advocate = T. Thus tea drinkers are P, R and T, but the one who is an advocate is T. Persons who like tea but are not an advocate are P and R only. None of the given groups consists only of persons who like tea and are not advocates; each listed group either contains T (the advocate) or a coffee drinker. So the correct choice is “None of these”.
