Thieves

by shashank.ism » Tue Feb 09, 2010 12:04 pm
Five thieves namely Amar, Bhuvan, Chirag, Dhruv and Elan have been assigned five codes namely A, B, C, D and E not necessarily in this particular order. Also, each thief has been assigned only one of the mentioned codes. For none of the thieves, the first alphabet of his name is same as his assigned code. The code assigned to both Amar and Chirag is neither B nor E. Further, the code assigned to both Dhruv and Elan is neither A nor C. If the code assigned to Amar is D, what is the code assigned to Bhuvan?


A) C
B) D
C) E
D) A
E) Cannot be determined

CA is A

Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.
