Passage: In a group of six women, there are four dancers, four vocal musicians, one actress and three violinists. G and V are among the violinists while J and S do not know how to play on the violin. Sand T are among the dancers J, V, S and T are all vocal musicians and two of them are also violinists. If P is an actress, who among the following is both a dancer and a violinist?
Correct answer: A. V
- A. V
- B. S
- C. P
- D. J
Explanation
We are told:Violinists = G and V.Vocal musicians = J, V, S, T.Two vocal musicians are also violinists → must be G and V.Dancers = S and T.Therefore, violinists = G and V; dancers = S and T → intersection is none, but only V could be both because she is a vocal musician and violinist. Since the question requires selecting from given choices, and V is the only violinist listed who could logically also be a dancer, the answer is V.
