Question

A question paper must have a question on one of the eight poets : A, B, C, D, E, F, G or H. The first four belong to the medieval period while the rest are considered modern poets. Generally, modern poets figure in the question paper in alternate years. Generally those who like H like G also; and those who like F like E also. The paper-setter does not like to ask about F as he has written a book on F, but he likes F. Last year, the paper contained a question on A. On the basis of the information given, this year's paper is most likely to contain a question on
1. C
2. E
3. F
4. H

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : E

Medieval period - A, B, C, D
Modern period - E, F, G, H
Also, question based on modern poets is asked in alternate years. Last year a question on a medieval period poet i.e. A, was asked in the paper, hence, a question on a modern period poet will be asked in the current paper.
As the paper setter likes F, he likes E also. He would not ask a question about F, implies, he would ask a question about E.

Hence, a question based on E is most likely to appear in the question paper.
