Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : E, P, B, R

Given:

A team of five persons is to be selected from amongst:

Five girls: A, B, C, D, and E.

Four boys: P, Q, R, and S.

Q is already a selected member.

1. S and Q cannot be together

⇒ As Q is already selected, S cannot be there in the team.

Therefore, 

Option 1: P, S, C, A → Cannot form a team.

Option 2: R, S, C, A → Cannot form a team.

Option 3: S, R, D, C → Cannot form a team.

2. E and P have to be together.

3. B and S cannot be together.

⇒ As E and P have to be together and B and S cannot be together.

Therefore,

Option 4: E, P, B, R → Can form a possible team.

Therefore, after Q, the other 4 selected team members are E, P, B, R

Hence, the correct answer is "E, P, B, R".
