Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A, B, C, D, and E are five people who have different professions: doctor, engineer, teacher, lawyer, and artist. A is not a doctor or an artist. B is a teacher. C is neither a lawyer nor an engineer. What is D's profession? (2023)
  • Step 1: Identify the professions available: doctor, engineer, teacher, lawyer, and artist.
  • Step 2: Note that A is not a doctor or an artist. This means A can only be an engineer, teacher, or lawyer.
  • Step 3: B is identified as a teacher. This means B's profession is already known.
  • Step 4: C is neither a lawyer nor an engineer. This means C can only be a doctor or an artist.
  • Step 5: Since A cannot be a doctor or an artist, and B is a teacher, C must be the doctor or artist.
  • Step 6: If C is the doctor, then A must be the engineer or lawyer. But if C is the artist, then A must be the engineer or lawyer.
  • Step 7: Since C cannot be a lawyer or engineer, C must be the doctor, leaving A as the engineer.
  • Step 8: This means D must be the lawyer, as the only profession left is lawyer.
  • Process of Elimination – The question tests the ability to deduce information by eliminating possibilities based on given constraints.
  • Logical Reasoning – The question requires logical reasoning to determine the only possible profession left for D after considering the constraints on A, B, and C.
