Solving the Logic Puzzle: Identifying the Friend
This question asks us to identify a specific friend from a group of six based on three criteria: their house, their height, and what they are wearing.
Let's list the friends and the characteristics provided:
- Friends: Anitha, Punitha, Chithra, Deepthi, Harini, Vani.
Now, let's break down the characteristics for each friend based on the given information:
| Friend | House | Height | Dress |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anitha | Green | Short | Saree |
| Punitha | Green | Short | Frock |
| Chithra | Red | Short | Saree |
| Deepthi | Red | Tall | Saree |
| Harini | Red | Short | Frock |
| Vani | Red | Tall | Frock |
Applying the Criteria to Find the Friend
We are looking for the friend who meets all of the following conditions:
- Tall
- From the Red house
- Not wearing a saree (which means wearing a frock, based on the information provided)
Let's examine each friend against these conditions:
- Anitha: Green house (fails condition 2), Short (fails condition 1), Saree (fails condition 3). Anitha does not meet the criteria.
- Punitha: Green house (fails condition 2), Short (fails condition 1), Frock (meets condition 3). Punitha does not meet the criteria.
- Chithra: Red house (meets condition 2), Short (fails condition 1), Saree (fails condition 3). Chithra does not meet the criteria.
- Deepthi: Red house (meets condition 2), Tall (meets condition 1), Saree (fails condition 3). Deepthi does not meet the criteria.
- Harini: Red house (meets condition 2), Short (fails condition 1), Frock (meets condition 3). Harini does not meet the criteria.
- Vani: Red house (meets condition 2), Tall (meets condition 1), Frock (meets condition 3). Vani meets all three criteria.
Based on our analysis, Vani is the only person who is tall, from the Red house, and not wearing a saree (wearing a frock).
Conclusion
The person who is tall, from the Red house, and not wearing a saree is Vani.
