Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Key facts: use the given statements to deduce each person's role and relationships.
N is a Lecturer and is married to the Artist, who is the mother of L and P.
P is pursuing singing (so P is the Singer).
K is the Businessman and is married to D.
D has one son and one grandson; that grandson is the Executive.
There are two married couples, so the two married women are the Artist (spouse of N) and D; one of these married women is the NGO worker.
Deductions:
Because the Artist already holds the role 'Artist', the other married woman (D) must be the NGO worker.
K is therefore the Businessman husband and D is the married woman (NGO worker).
D's son must be N (the Lecturer), and the grandson must be one of N's children (L or P). Since P is the Singer, the grandson who is the Executive must be L.
The Artist (spouse of N and mother of L and P) must be the remaining person M.
Final roles:
D — NGO worker (married to K)
K — Businessman (spouse of D)
N — Lecturer (son of D, married to M)
M — Artist (spouse of N, mother of L and P)
L — Executive (grandson of D)
P — Singer (child of N and M)
Conclusion:
The true statement is: M is the Artist. The other statements are false for the reasons given above.
