**Passage.** Four friends — Ajay, Vijay, Sameer and Dinesh — each have a favourite actor (from Amitabh, Shahrukh, Salman, Amir) and a favourite actress (from Juhi, Kajol, Rekha, Raveena). Each actor and actress is the favourite of exactly one friend. 1. The friend who likes Salman also likes Rekha. 2. The friend who likes Raveena also likes Shahrukh. 3. Dinesh likes Amir and Juhi. 4. Ajay does not like Kajol or Salman. **Question.** Which is Ajay's choice?
ARaveena – Amitabh
BAmitabh – Rekha
CShahrukh – Rekha
DNone of these
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. None of these
**Pinning down the pairs.**
From (3): **Dinesh — Amir / Juhi**. The leftover actors and actresses split as:
| Actor | Actress |
|---|---|
| Salman | Rekha (from 1) |
| Shahrukh | Raveena (from 2) |
| Amitabh | Kajol (the only leftover pair) |
So the three remaining friends each take one of these three forced (actor, actress) pairs.
**Placing Ajay.** From (4) Ajay ≠ Kajol → Ajay ≠ (Amitabh, Kajol). Ajay ≠ Salman → Ajay ≠ (Salman, Rekha). So **Ajay = (Shahrukh, Raveena)**.
That leaves Vijay and Sameer to split {(Salman, Rekha), (Amitabh, Kajol)} — the puzzle does not say which is which, so both assignments are possible.
**Answer:** D — Ajay's actual pair is Shahrukh + Raveena, which is not among the listed combinations.
