Key Information Extraction
We are given information linking six individuals (Raj, Rohit, Rachit, Rajat, Rishu, Rinku) with specific salaries ($1000, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000$) and favorite cars (P, Q, R, S, T, U). We need to find who earns $3000.
- Rajat: Salary $2500$, Car U.
- The person who likes Car Q earns $3000.
- Rachit: Car P, Salary $3500.
- Salary $1000$ person: Not Car R or S.
- Rinku: Salary $2000$, Not Car Q or S.
- Rishu: Salary $4000$, Not Car R.
- Rohit: Salary $\neq 1000$.
Step-by-Step Deduction for Salary $3000
Let's track the assigned salaries:
- Rinku: $2000
- Rajat: $2500
- Rachit: $3500
- Rishu: $4000
The remaining salaries to be assigned are $1000$ and $3000$. The remaining individuals are Raj and Rohit.
Given that Rohit's salary is not $1000$, he must earn the other available salary, which is $3000$. Consequently, Raj earns $1000$.
The clue "The one who likes car Q gets a salary of 3000" implies Rohit likes car Q.
Conclusion
Rohit is the person who gets a salary of $3000$.
