Question

W, X, U, Z, T, Y and V are family members. There are four male members. Each of them has a different choice of holiday destination - France, England, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Australia and Germany (not necessarily in the same order). No lady's choice is either Germany or England.
The member whose choice is England is the eldest. W's choice is Canada and he is younger to Y, whose choice is Japan. V whose choice is Singapore is elder to T and younger to W. Z's wife is the youngest. X is younger to T and is elder to U only. X is an unmarried lady with France as choice.
The member with Germany choice is not the youngest. What is the choice of T?

The correct answer is
Germany

To determine the choice of T, let's analyze the information provided and organize it logically:

  1. There are seven family members with four males. Each has a different favorite holiday destination: France, England, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Australia, and Germany.
  2. No lady prefers Germany or England.
  3. The eldest member prefers England.
  4. W's choice is Canada. W is younger than Y, who prefers Japan.
  5. V prefers Singapore, is elder to T, and younger to W.
  6. Z's wife is the youngest.
  7. X is younger to T, elder only to U, is unmarried, and prefers France.
  8. The one choosing Germany is not the youngest.

Let's denote the gender of the family members:

  • According to point 6, Z's wife is the youngest and hence must be a female.
  • According to point 7, X is an unmarried lady.
  • Since ladies cannot choose England or Germany, they must be males.

To get the order by age and preference:

  • The eldest chooses England and must be one among the male members (not a lady).
  • X is the second youngest because she is elder only to U.
  • Y prefers Japan and is elder to W, who prefers Canada.
  • V is younger than W and elder than T.
  • Germany is not chosen by the youngest member, so T can choose Germany.

From these observations:

  1. The order of age (from eldest to youngest): Eldest with England, Y (Japan), W (Canada), V (Singapore), T (Germany), X (France), and Z's wife (Youngest).
  2. T's choice is Germany.

Thus, the correct choice of T is Germany.
