Read the given information carefully and answer the question that follows. There are five girls A, B, C, D and E. They are married to boys from five different states Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar and Odisha, but not necessarily in the same order. All the boys are in five different professions Politician, Professor, Teacher, Doctor and Engineer, but not necessarily in the same order. D is married to a doctor, B is married to a man from Uttar Pradesh, who is not a professor or politician. E is married to an engineer and he is not from Jharkhand or Madhya Pradesh. C is married to a person who is from Bihar. The Politician is not from Bihar or Jharkhand. A is married to a person from -
Analyze the Given Information
We need to determine the state from which A's husband comes. Let's list the known facts and constraints:
- Girls: A, B, C, D, E
- States: Uttar Pradesh (UP), Madhya Pradesh (MP), Jharkhand (JH), Bihar (BH), Odisha (OD)
- Professions: Politician (P), Professor (Pr), Teacher (T), Doctor (D), Engineer (E)
- Constraint 1: D is married to a Doctor.
- Constraint 2: B is married to a man from UP, who is not a Professor or Politician.
- Constraint 3: E is married to an Engineer, who is not from JH or MP.
- Constraint 4: C is married to a person from Bihar (BH).
- Constraint 5: The Politician is not from Bihar (BH) or Jharkhand (JH).
Step-by-Step Deduction
-
Determine E's State: E is married to an Engineer and not from JH or MP. The available states for E are {UP, BH, OD}. Since B is from UP and C is from BH, E must be from OD to ensure unique states.
Deduction: E = OD, Engineer. -
Determine B's Profession: B is from UP and her husband is not a Professor or Politician. The available professions are {P, Pr, T, D, E}. E is an Engineer. D is a Doctor. B's husband cannot be P or Pr. If B's husband were the Doctor, D could not be the Doctor (assuming unique professions). Therefore, B's husband must be the Teacher.
Deduction: B = UP, Teacher. -
Identify Politician's State: The Politician is not from BH (C is from BH) or JH. The Politician is also not from OD (E is Engineer) or UP (B is Teacher). Therefore, the Politician must be from MP.
Deduction: Politician = MP. -
Identify Professor's State: Since all other states (UP, OD, BH) are assigned or constrained, and MP is assigned to the Politician, the remaining state JH must correspond to the Professor.
Deduction: Professor = JH. -
Assign Professions based on Constraints:
- C is from BH. The Politician is not from BH. Therefore, C cannot be the Politician. C must be the Professor. This aligns with Professor = JH. Wait, C is from BH, not JH. Let's reconsider.
- Known Pairs: (B, UP, Teacher), (E, OD, Engineer)
- Known Facts: (C, BH, ?), (D, ?, Doctor)
- Deductions: Politician = MP, Professor = JH.
- Available for A, D: States {MP, JH}, Professions {Politician, Professor, Doctor}. D is Doctor.
- Since Politician = MP and Professor = JH:
- The person from MP is the Politician.
- The person from JH is the Professor.
- Consider D: D is Doctor. D's state must be MP or JH.
- If D is from MP, then D is the Politician (from MP). Contradicts D=Doctor.
- If D is from JH, then D is the Professor (from JH). Contradicts D=Doctor.
- Let's assign Politician=MP and Professor=JH. The remaining girls are A and D. The remaining states are MP and JH.
- Case 1: A=MP, D=JH. D is Doctor. So (D, JH, Doctor). This means JH is the state of the Doctor, not the Professor. Contradiction.
- Case 2: A=JH, D=MP. D is Doctor. So (D, MP, Doctor). This means MP is the state of the Doctor, not the Politician. Contradiction.
- Let's assume the pairings are: (??, MP, Politician) and (??, JH, Professor).
- C is from BH. C cannot be Politician (not BH) or Professor (not BH). This implies C's profession is neither P nor Pr. C must be the Doctor or Engineer? No, D is Doctor, E is Engineer. What profession is left? C must be assigned Politician or Professor. Since C cannot be Politician (Constraint 5), C must be Professor. This implies Professor must be from BH.
- If Professor = BH, then JH must be the state for the remaining girl A or D.
- Let's reconsider the Politician constraint: Politician is not from BH or JH. Politician could be from UP, MP, OD. B=Teacher(UP), E=Engineer(OD). Thus, Politician must be from MP. (??, MP, Politician).
- This leaves JH. The remaining profession is Professor. So (??, JH, Professor).
- Now assign based on A=MP (The Answer). If A is from MP, and MP is the Politician's state, then A is the Politician. (A, MP, Politician).
- This leaves JH state for D. D is Doctor. So (D, JH, Doctor).
- Let's check this final configuration:
- (A, MP, Politician)
- (B, UP, Teacher)
- (C, BH, Professor) - C must be Professor. Check: C is from BH. Professor is from JH? No, this contradicts Professor = JH.
Final Configuration Check
Based on satisfying all constraints:
- A: Madhya Pradesh (MP), Politician
- B: Uttar Pradesh (UP), Teacher
- C: Bihar (BH), Professor
- D: Jharkhand (JH), Doctor
- E: Odisha (OD), Engineer
Let's verify:
- D is Doctor? Yes.
- B married to UP man, not P/Pr? Yes, B married to Teacher from UP.
- E married to Engineer, not JH/MP? Yes, E married to Engineer from OD.
- C married to person from Bihar? Yes, C married to Professor from BH.
- Politician not from BH/JH? Yes, Politician (A) is from MP.
All conditions are met.
Conclusion
The deduced configuration shows that A is married to a person from Madhya Pradesh.
| Girl | State | Profession |
|---|---|---|
| A | Madhya Pradesh | Politician |
| B | Uttar Pradesh | Teacher |
| C | Bihar | Professor |
| D | Jharkhand | Doctor |
| E | Odisha | Engineer |
