**Passage.** Five ladies — Mrs. Bhakti, Mrs. Preeti, Mrs. Neeti, Mrs. Shanti and Mrs. Rati — stay in five Bombay suburbs (Dadar, Andheri, Kurla, Mulund and Borivli). They are engaged in five different occupations: Bank employee, Actress, Teacher, Shop owner and Guide. 1. Mrs. Bhakti is a Bank employee, staying in Andheri. 2. Mrs. Neeti owns a book shop in Dadar, although she does not stay in Dadar. 3. Mrs. Rati's house is in Kurla; she is not the Guide. 4. The teacher, Mrs. Shanti, lives in Dadar. 5. The Guide does not stay in Borivli. **Question.** Who stays in Borivli?

**Working it out.** From (1) and (4): **Bhakti — Andheri / Bank**, **Shanti — Dadar / Teacher**. From (2): **Neeti — Shop owner** (works in Dadar but lives elsewhere). From (3): **Rati — Kurla**, and she is not the Guide → Rati must be the **Actress** (the remaining options for her are Actress or Guide). The Guide is therefore **Preeti**. The Guide can't live in Borivli (5), so **Preeti — Mulund / Guide**, leaving **Neeti — Borivli**. | Lady | Suburb | Occupation | |---|---|---| | Bhakti | Andheri | Bank employee | | Shanti | Dadar | Teacher | | Rati | Kurla | Actress | | Preeti | Mulund | Guide | | Neeti | Borivli | Shop owner | **Answer:** A — Neeti — works in Dadar but lives in Borivli.
