Answer: D

The course starts with Psychology. So, Psychology will be on the 22nd, 23rd being a Sunday will be a holiday. Science will be before Engineering and Economics, Science and Engineering. Mechanics will be the last i.e., on 29th. So, Sociology will fill the gap on the 28th.
Thus, we have :

So, Economics is followed by Science.

Answer: A

If A is selected, S has to be selected.
If B is selected, R cannnot be selected.
If D is selected, Q cannot be selected.
So, A D S Q R and B D S R Q are wrong. C E S P Q is not possible because S has to be accompanied with A.

Answer: D

Correct answer: S A C E

With R in the team, P is excluded and so is B, since neither may be put with R. Of the four options only one survives the remaining rules: A and S must be together, and C and E must be together, which S A C E satisfies exactly. The others fail - P S A D includes the excluded P, Q S A D puts D with Q, and Q S C E has S without A.

Answer: C

Correct answer: P S A B

D is in and two members are girls, so the team is three boys and two girls. D bars Q, which eliminates the two options containing her. Of the remaining pair, P S C E puts S in the team without A, breaking the rule that they must be together. P S A B works: A is with S, P is not with R since R is absent, and neither the C-E pair nor the R-B restriction is engaged.

Answer: D

Correct answer: P Q E

A brings S with it and C brings E, so S and E must both be among the other three members whenever A and C are in the team. That leaves just one free place. P Q E supplies E but not S, so A would sit in the team without S - which the rules forbid. The other three sets all contain both E and S and are therefore possible.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Q S A B

P is in and bars R, so the girls available are P, Q and S; three girls means all of them. Q bars D, and S requires A, so A is one of the two boys. The other cannot be C or E, since those two must come as a pair and there is only one place left. It must therefore be B, giving the team P, Q, S, A, B.

Answer: B

The male advocates are A and B, lady doctors are P, Q and S; teachers are E, T and U.
Now, A and B will be selected.
A, P and U have to be together.
Now, we have to select one lady doctor more. It can be Q or S. But Q and E have to be together. Since  E is not selected, so S will be selected.
Thus, the term is A B P U S.

Answer: B

The advocates are A, B and R; doctors are C, D, P, Q, S; teachers are E, T and U.
The term consists of 3 teachers  i.e. E, T, U.
Now, A, P, and U have to be together.
E and Q have to be together.
Thus, the team is A E P Q T U.

Answer: A

The male advocates are A and B; male doctors are C and D; lady doctors are P, Q and S; teachers are E, T and U.
If A is selectes, P and U will be  selected, D and P cannot go together. So, a male doctor C will be selected. C and T have  to be together. Thus, the team is A C P T U. If B is selected , D will not be selected. So, male doctor C will be chosen. C and T have to be together. Now, the second teacher to be selecteis E and U. But U cannot go without A. So,  wil be selected. E and Q have to be together. Thus, the team can also be B C E Q T.

Answer: C

The advocates are A, B and R; the doctors are C, D, P, Q and S; male teachers is E. Clearly, E will be selected, E and Q have to be together. C and Q cannot be together. So, C will not be selected. P also cannot be selected because U is not selected. So, two other doctors D and S will be selected. P is not selected, so A will not be selected. D is selected, so B cannot be selected. Thus, the team is D E Q R S.
