Question

There are eight poets A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. A, B, C and D are medieval poets whereas E, F, G and H are modern poets. Questions on modern poets and medieval poets are set in the question paper every alternate year. Among the modern poets, question-setters who like E also like F and those who like G also like H. The question-setter has written a book on F and so he does not like to ask any question on F. Last year there was a question on A. On which poet will be the probable question this year.

• A. F
• B. E
• C. D
• D. C

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

E

Answer 2

The correct option is (B): E
explanation: Since questions on modern poets and medieval poets are alternated each year, and last year there was a question on the medieval poet A, this year it will be a question on a modern poet. The question-setter does not like to ask any questions on F (due to writing a book on F), so the probable question this year will be on E.
