Five friends - Riya, Aman, Sohan, Neha, and Rahul - play five different sports: Cricket, Badminton, Football, Tennis, and Hockey. Riya does not play Football or Tennis. Aman plays Cricket. Neha plays Hockey. Sohan does not play Football. Rahul plays Football. Who plays Badminton?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Assigning known sports:
- Aman → Cricket
- Neha → Hockey
- Rahul → Football
Remaining sports: Badminton, Tennis
Remaining people: Riya, Sohan
Riya does not play Football or Tennis → so Riya must play Badminton
That leaves Sohan with Tennis (consistent with 'Sohan does not play Football' ✓)
Answer: Riya plays Badminton
