A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are the Chief Ministers of these states but not necessarily in the given order.

G is the CM of Nagaland. Either D or E is the CM of Assam. G and C are the CM of the states which are represented by Brown and Yellow color on the map but not necessarily in the same order. E is not the CM of the state which is represented by either White or Blue. Assam and Manipur are represented by Yellow and White on the map but not necessarily in the same order. Which state is represented by blue color in the map?
Answer
Mizoram
Why?
States: Tripura, Megh alaya, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Manipur Colors: Green, Yellow, Red, White, Black, Brown, and Blue CM: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G 1) Assam and Manipur are represented by Yellow and White on the map but not necessarily in the same order. 2) Either D or E is the CM of Assam States Color CM Tripura Meghalaya Assam Yellow/White D/E Arunachal Mizoram Nagaland Manipur Yellow/White 3) G and C are the CM of the states which are represented by Brown and Yellow color on the map but not necessarily in the same order. (Implies, Assam is not represented by Yellow color as its CM is either D or E. Hence, it means Assam is represented by White color and Manipur is represented by the Yellow color on the map (acc. to statement 1 and 2). 4) G is the CM of Nagaland. (Now, according to statement 3, we know G is not the CM of the state which is represented by Yellow color, implies G is the CM of the state which is represented by Brown color and C is the CM of Manipur (as it is represented by Yellow color).) States Color CM Tripura Meghalaya Assam White D/E Arunachal Mizoram Nagaland Brown G Manipur Yellow C 5) Brown and Red colors are used in the map to represent Tripura and Nagaland but not necessarily in the same order. (We know from the previous statement that Nagaland is represented by Brown color implies, Tripura is represented by Red color.) 6) E is not the CM of the state which is represented by either White or Blue. (Implies, E is not the CM of Assam, which further implies D is the CM of Assam.) States Color CM Tripura Red Meghalaya Assam White D Arunachal Mizoram Nagaland Brown G Manipur Yellow C 7) B is the CM of Tripura or Meghalaya and his state is represented by Green color. (We know, Tripura is represented by Red implies B is the CM of Meghalaya and it is represented by Green.) 8) Arunachal Pradesh is not represented by the Blue color on the map and its CM is either F or B. (As there are only two colors left i.e. Blue and Black implies, Arunachal is represented by Black and Mizoram is represented by Blue. Also, we know that B is the CM of Meghalaya, implies F is the CM of Arunachal Pradesh. According to statement 6, E cannot be the CM of Mizoram, implies E is the CM of Tripura and A is the CM of Mizoram.) States Color CM Tripura Red E Meghalaya Green B Assam White D Arunachal Black F Mizoram Blue A Nagaland Brown G Manipur Yellow C Clearly, Mizoram is represented by blue color in the map.
