★ Solution :-
From the clues itself we can figure out the relationship between different persons. Most of the people usually feel difficulty in figuring out that relation. The thing that same name type notation make people. Let's firstly understand the trick to do this question.
• Types of People here ::
» S, R and J maybe the fireman, breakman and engineer.
» Mr. S, Mr. R and Mr. J are the businessmen.
• Location of different persons ::
>> Mr. R lives in Dehradun, since it is given in the clue.
>> Breakman lives half way between Noida and Dehradun.
>> One person is nearest neighbour of the brakeman. He earns three times as the brakeman.
These are relationship regarding location derived from qúestion. Let's do further.
Answer ::
• It's given that Mr. R lives in Dehradun. This means he is not the nearest neighbour of the brakeman. Also since that nearest neighbour can't be Mr. J himself since that neighbour earns 3 times as Mr. J . This means it can neither be fireman or engineer too since they can't usually such high income. So Mr. S is the nearest neighbour of the brakeman. This also means that Mr. S lives nearby to brakeman that is somewhere between Dehradun and Noida.
• It is also given that S beats brakeman in the badminton and the one who has same name as brakeman lives in noida. Clearly Mr. R lives in Dehradun. And Mr. S lives in between Dehradun and Noida. So left person's are R, J and Mr. J . Here J and Mr. J have same name. Also it's given that nearest neighbour of Mr. S is J. This means J is the brakeman who lives near Mr. S . And Mr. J who lives in Noida, has the same name as J.
• Now we have two person left as without relationship between any of them. We see that R has no description here. Also we see that it is given, S beats fireman in badminton. This means S cannot be fireman. So definately R is the fireman since S cannot defeat himself. This finally gives us that S is the engineer since he is the only person left with that choice.
Now let's make the things clear with good description .
• Correct Locations ::
» R : He lives in Dehradun and is fireman by profession.
» S : He lives in Noida and is engineer by profession.
» J : He lives in between Noida and Dehradun and is the brakeman.
» Mr. R : He lives in Dehradun and is a businessman.
» Mr. S : He lives in between Noida and Dehradun and is a businessman.
» Mr. J : He lives in Noida and is a businessman.
So now our answer is in front of our eyes.
|| S is the Engineer among all the people here. ||
