Who lives in Kolkata and likes white colour?
Analyzing the People, Colours, and Cities Logic Puzzle
This problem involves matching six individuals (A, B, C, D, E, F) to six unique colours and six unique cities using the provided clues. The goal is to determine which person resides in Kolkata and likes the colour white.
Step 1: Record Initial Clues
We list the direct facts given in the problem:
- A: Lives in Delhi. Dislikes Orange and White colours.
- B: Dislikes Blue and Black colours. Does not live in Mumbai.
- F: Lives in Bangalore and likes Red colour.
- D: Lives in Hyderabad and likes either Blue or Black colour.
- C: Likes Green colour and lives in Chennai.
- E: Likes Orange colour.
Step 2: Deduce Colour Assignments
We can deduce the colours step-by-step:
- Colours directly assigned: Red (F), Green (C), Orange (E).
- Colours remaining for A, B, D: Blue, Black, White.
- A dislikes Orange and White. Since Red, Green, and Orange are taken, A's colour must be either Blue or Black.
- D likes either Blue or Black.
- As each person has a unique colour, A and D must be the ones who like Blue and Black (one takes Blue, the other Black).
- The only colour left is White.
- Since A, D, F, C, and E cannot like White, B must be the person who likes White.
Step 3: Deduce City Assignments
Now, we determine the cities:
- Cities directly assigned: Delhi (A), Bangalore (F), Chennai (C), Hyderabad (D).
- Cities remaining for B and E: Mumbai, Kolkata.
- We know B does not live in Mumbai.
- Therefore, B must live in Kolkata.
- This leaves Mumbai as the city where E lives.
Step 4: Consolidate Findings in a Table
The final assignments are summarized below:
| Person | City | Colour |
|---|---|---|
| A | Delhi | Blue / Black |
| B | Kolkata | White |
| C | Chennai | Green |
| D | Hyderabad | Black / Blue |
| E | Mumbai | Orange |
| F | Bangalore | Red |
Step 5: Answer the Question
Based on the completed deductions, the person who lives in Kolkata and likes the colour white is B.
