In a group of six women, there are four tennis players, four postgraduates in Sociology, one postgraduate in Commerce and three bank employees. Vimala and Kamla are the bank employees while Amala and Komala are unemployed. Komala and Nirmala are among the tennis players. Amala, Kamla, Komala and Nirmala are postgraduates in Sociology of whom two are bank employees. If Shyamala is a postgraduate in Commerce, who among the following is both a tennis player and a bank employee?

Correct Option: Nirmala

We have 6 women: Amala, Kamla, Komala, Nirmala, Shyamala, and Vimala. Let's analyze the given conditions step-by-step: 1. Shyamala is a postgraduate in Commerce. 2. Vimala and Kamla are bank employees. Amala and Komala are unemployed. 3. Komala and Nirmala are tennis players. 4. Amala, Kamla, Komala, and Nirmala are postgraduates in Sociology. Among these four, exactly two are bank employees. Since Amala and Komala are unemployed, they cannot be bank employees. This leaves Kamla and Nirmala to be the two bank employees from this group of four. Thus, Nirmala is a bank employee. 5. Since Nirmala is a bank employee and is also explicitly mentioned as a tennis player (from step 3), Nirmala is both a tennis player and a bank employee. Therefore, Nirmala is the only person who satisfies both conditions. The correct option is C.
