Explanations
Q1. If T and Z are serving on committee B. X and Y must serve on committee C. Since they can't serve on committee A. And R and S must serve on committee A since they cannot be on C. Also A must consist 3 members because there are 2 members on committee B. So one of U, V and W will be on committee A and other two will be on C. Hence there are 4 members who should serve on committee C. Ans.(2)
Q2. Out of 9 individuals there are 3 members R, S and T who cannot serve on committee C and Two of them can serve on A and one on B. Hence maximum people who can serve on committee C is 6. Ans (4)
Q3. If R is the only individual serving on committee B, S and T must serve on committee A. Ans.(4)
Q4. Since T, S, and X are serving on committee B committee A must consist 4 members but x and y cannot serve on committee A, so they will be on committee C and remaining four members will serve on committee A. Ans.(1)
Q5. Option 1 T cannot serve on committee C.
Option 3 and 4 If 3 members serve on committee C then remaining 6 members cannot serve on committee A and B in a manner that A will consist of exactly one members more than B.
Hence option "2" must be true. Ans.(2)
