College Admission Logic Puzzle Solution

Given Information Summary

  • Four students: Amit, Bharat, Chandan, Danish.
  • Four colleges: BDS, IIMT, DPS, IMS.
  • Four courses: BA, BBM, BSc, BCom.
  • Chandan: IMS, BA.
  • Amit: BDS, BBM.
  • Danish: Opted for BSc.
  • Constraint: Student in IIMT did not opt for BSc.

Step-by-Step Deduction

We need to determine which student was admitted to DPS.

  1. Known Assignments:
    • Chandan is in IMS and pursuing BA.
    • Amit is in BDS and pursuing BBM.
  2. Danish's Course: Danish opted for BSc.
  3. Applying the Constraint: The student admitted to IIMT did not choose BSc. Since Danish chose BSc, Danish cannot be the student admitted to IIMT.
  4. Available Colleges: The colleges remaining are DPS and IIMT. The students remaining are Bharat and Danish.
  5. Placing Danish: Because Danish cannot be in IIMT (due to the BSc constraint), Danish must be admitted to DPS.
  6. Placing Bharat: By elimination, Bharat must be the student admitted to IIMT.
  7. Remaining Course: The only course left is BCom. Bharat must have opted for BCom.

The final arrangement is:

Student College Course
Amit BDS BBM
Bharat IIMT BCom
Chandan IMS BA
Danish DPS BSc

Therefore, Danish took admission in DPS.
