Hindi English Punjabi Authors Logic
This solution deduces the language and writing genre for each author (A, B, C) using logical reasoning based on the provided statements.
Language Genre Pairings
Statements establish specific language-genre links:
- Statement 3 implies: English is associated with 'Poems'.
- Statement 2 implies: Punjabi is associated with 'Essays'.
This leaves Hindi as the third language. Statement 4 identifies A as a 'Novelist'. Assuming these are distinct roles, A likely writes novels in Hindi.

| Author | Language | Genre | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|---|
| B | English | Poet | Not C (St 1), Not A (St 4), English is Poems (St 3). Not essayist (St 5). |
| C | Punjabi | Essayist | Not English (St 1), B assigned, A novelist. Punjabi is Essays (St 2). |
| A | Hindi | Novelist | Remaining author and language. Consistent with St 4. |
Step-by-Step Deduction Process
- Identify English Poet: C does not write English (St 1). A is a novelist (St 4). The English genre is poems (St 3). Therefore, B must be the poet writing in English.
- Identify Punjabi Essayist: B is the English poet. A is the novelist. C is not English (St 1). Punjabi genre is essays (St 2). B is not an essayist (St 5). Thus, C must be the Punjabi essayist.
- Assign Remaining: A is the remaining author, Hindi is the remaining language, and novelist is the remaining genre (consistent with St 4). A writes novels in Hindi.
