Each of them lives in different places viz Agra, Dadar, Hooghly, Goa, Kolkata, Pune, Patna and Assam but not necessarily in the same order. G sits second to the right of the person who lives in Dadar. G does not sit at any of the extreme ends. H is an immediate neighbour of D and E and none of them lives in Kolkata. The person who lives in Assam sits 3 rd to the left of G. B sits between C and the person who lives in Patna. A is an immediate neighbour of G. A is sitting to the right of G. E is sitting immediate left to the person who lives in Agra. F is sitting between E and G. Neither B nor D is an immediate neighbour of E. Person sitting at the extreme left end lives in Kolkata. Neither B nor C lives in Goa or Hooghly. Neither G nor B lives in Goa. Find the incorrect pair:

Answer

B - Goa

Why?

Persons: A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H Places: Agra, Dadar, Hooghly, Goa, Kolkata, Pune, Patna and Assam. 1) G sits second to the right of the person who lives in Dadar. 2) The person who lives in Assam sits 3rd to the left of G. 3) G does not sit at any of the extreme ends. 4) A is an immediate neighbour of G. A is sitting to the right of G. 5) E is sitting immediate left to the person who lives in Agra. 6) F is sitting between E and G. 7) The person sitting at the extreme left end lives in Kolkata. (Case IV will be eliminated here.) 8) B sits between C and the person who lives in Patna. (So, Case II is eliminated because it does not satisfy the above condition) 9) Neither B nor D is an immediate neighbour of E. 10) Neither B nor C lives in Goa or Hooghly. H is an immediate neighbour of D and E and none of them lives in Kolkata. (Case III will be eliminated here as in this case either B or C will be from Goa or Hoogly.) 11) Neither G nor B lives in Goa. (Hence, A is from Goa, B is from Pune and G is from Hoogly.) So the final solution is: Hence, B – Goa is the incorrect pair.
