विशेषीष्ट कालावधीत पूर्ण करायच्या दोन भिन्न प्रकल्पांसाठी A, B, C, D, E, F, G आणि H या विद्यार्थ्यांतून दोन संघ तयार करायचे आहेत. जर G व H यांची संघ 1 साठी निवड केली, तर पुढील अटीनुसार संघ 2 चे सदस्य निवडा. पहिले संघात कमाल पाच किंवा किमान चार विद्यार्थी असायला हवेत. प्रत्येक विद्यार्थी फक्त एकाच प्रकल्पासाठी निवडला जाईल. काम सुरळीत चालण्यासाठी C ची A सोबत निवड करणे उपयुक्त ठरेल कारण त्यांना एकमेकांबरोबर काम करायला आवडते परंतु A व H नेहमीच वाद घालण्यात वेळ वाया घालवतात. B व F हे C बरोबर स्वस्थपणे काम करू शकत नाहीत. E हा A व D यांच्याबरोबर आरामात काम करू शकतो परंतु G बरोबर त्याचे जमत नाही. Two teams are to be formed for completing two different projects in stipulated time using students A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. If G and H are selected as the members of team 1, select the members of team 2 with respect to the following conditions. There should be at most five students or at least four students in a first team. Each student is to be selected for only one project. For smooth working it is useful to include C along with A as they enjoy working together but A and H always waste time in debating. B and F are not comfortable to work with C. E comfortably works with A and D but not with G.

1)A, B, F व E / A, B, F and E
2)B, F, E व D / B, F, E and D
3)A, C, D व E / A, C, D and E✓ Correct
4)C, B, D व E / C, B, D and E

Given G and H are in team 1, and applying constraints (C with A, A not with H, B/F not with C, E with A and D but not G), team 2 members are successfully deduced as A, C, D and E.
