Question

The details given below relate to the FOUR items that follow: Amit wishes to buy a magazine. Four magazines—one each on politics, sports, science and films are available to choose from. They are edited by Feroz, Gurbaksh, Swami and Ila (not necessarily in that order) and published by Aryan, Bharat, Charan and Dev Publishers (not necessarily in that order). Further, it is given that i) Dev Publishers have published the magazine edited by Feroz. ii) The magazine on politics is published by Aryan Publishers.iii) The magazine on films is edited by Swami and is not published by Charan Publishers. iv) The magazine on science is edited by Ila. For the following four items, select the correct answer: The magazine on science is published by:

Accepted Answer

To find the correct publisher for the science magazine, we can organize the given information through a process of elimination:

1. From point ii, Politics is published by Aryan.
2. From point iv, Science is edited by Ila.
3. From point iii, Films is edited by Swami. Since Films is not published by Charan and cannot be Aryan (Politics), it must be published by either Bharat or Dev.
4. From point i, Feroz edits the magazine published by Dev. Since Swami edits Films and Ila edits Science, Feroz must edit either Politics or Sports. However, Politics is published by Aryan, so Feroz must edit Sports (published by Dev).

Now we assign the publishers:
Sports: Dev (Point i and deduction)
Politics: Aryan (Point ii)
Films: Since it is not Charan, and Aryan and Dev are taken, Films must be Bharat.
Science: The only remaining publisher is Charan.

Therefore, the magazine on science is published by Charan Publishers. Correct Answer: C
