Directions: Consider the following information and answer questions based on it.

P, Q, R, S are four friends who pursue teaching, law, banking, cooking and own red, blue, white and yellow house, in a random order. An individual owns only one house and pursues only one profession.

1. P owns a red house and is not a banker.

2. The owner of blue house is a lawyer.

3. The colour of S’s house is neither yellow nor white.

4. R is a teacher.

The owner of the blue house is

The correct answer is

S

To determine the owner of the blue house, we need to analyze the given information and process each clue logically.

  1. Clue 1: P owns a red house and is not a banker.
  2. Clue 2: The owner of the blue house is a lawyer.
  3. Clue 3: The color of S’s house is neither yellow nor white.
  4. Clue 4: R is a teacher.

Let's analyze these clues step by step:

  • Clue 1 informs us that P owns the red house. Therefore, P cannot own the blue house.
  • Clue 2 states that the owner of the blue house is a lawyer. Thus, the blue house is linked to the profession of law.
  • Clue 3 indicates that S’s house is not yellow or white. Therefore, S's house must be either red or blue.
  • Clue 4 assigns the profession of teaching to R.

Now, let's deduce the owner's details:

  • From Clue 4, R is a teacher, so R can neither be a lawyer nor the owner of the blue house.
  • Since P owns the red house, only S remains as a possible owner of the blue house.
  • Therefore, S should be the lawyer.

Hence, the owner of the blue house is S.
