Question:hard

Youtube is organizing an event with seven content creators - A, B, C, D, E, F and G, by grouping them into three teams based on - Travel, Beauty and Tech. Each team needs at least 2 content creators, and a creator can be only in a single team. There are certain constraints on the team formations:
a) A and B refuse to be on the same team.
b) C can be in team Travel or Beauty but not Tech.
c) If D goes to Tech then E also must be in Tech.
d) F must be with either A or B but not both and not in the Travel team.
e) G must be in team Travel.
f) The Tech team should have exactly 2 members.
g) No team can have exactly 3 creators.
h) E must not be in same team as G.
i) C and B must be on the same team
j) A cannot be in team Beauty
Who are the members of the Beauty Team?

  • B, F, C
  • D, E, C
  • G, A
  • G, A, F
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: List the fixed anchors first.
G must be in Travel (e). C must be in Travel or Beauty, not Tech (b). A cannot be in Beauty (j). F is not in Travel and must join exactly one of A or B (d).
Step 2: Keep C and B together.
Condition (i) forces C and B onto the same team. Since C cannot be in Tech, the C-B pair sits in either Travel or Beauty.
Step 3: Decide where F goes.
F is barred from Travel and must accompany A or B. If F follows B, then F joins the C-B pair, giving a natural Beauty trio B, C, F.
Step 4: Check A and B are apart.
Condition (a) says A and B are on different teams, and (j) keeps A out of Beauty anyway. So placing B, C, F in Beauty keeps A elsewhere, satisfying both.
Step 5: Verify F's single partner rule.
F is with B but not with A (since A is not in Beauty), so F is with exactly one of A or B, satisfying (d). F is also not in Travel, which is fine.
Step 6: Match against the options.
The Beauty team that satisfies every relevant clue is B, F, C, which is exactly option 1.
\[ \boxed{\text{B, F, C}} \]
