The company is managed by professional managers and is very particular about human resources and personnel relations. There are seven team members of equal ability X, Y and Z (who are Senior), and A, B, C and D (who are Junior). The company requires that there should be two senior executives and two junior executives in the team. It is also necessary that all of the executives in a particular team are friendly with each other in order to have a real team spirit and avoid any personnel relations problem in the new center being set up in the South. Following is the situation of relations among the seven executives.
    (i) Y and A are not friendly.
    (ii) Z and C are not friendly.
    (iii) A and B are not friendly.
    Which of the following statements is/are true for X?
    I. X must be selected as one of the Senior Executives on the team
    II. X must be selected, if C is selected.
    III. X cannot be selected, if both A and C are rejected.

    A)  I only   

    B)         II only

    C)  II and III only

    D)         I, II and III

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Y and Z can also form a team with B and D. So, I is false. If C is selected, then Z cannot be selected. So, the two senior executives in the team must be X and Y. So, II is true. If both A and C are rejected, the two junior executives in the team must be B and D. And, B and D may have any two senior executives from amongst X, Y and Z. So, III is false.
