Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Each member has a different profession.
X is married to the Chartered Accountant, while the Doctor is married to the Lawyer. Therefore, X is not the Doctor.
Y is also not the Doctor. Hence, Z is the Doctor.
Z is married to the Lawyer. Since Z is not A’s husband and C cannot be her own daughter-in-law, B is the Lawyer.
A’s father is the Professor. Y is not the Professor, and Z is already the Doctor. Therefore, X is the Professor.
X is married to the Chartered Accountant. Since B is married to Z and A is X’s daughter, C is the Chartered Accountant.
The remaining professions for A and Y are Architect and Engineer.
Since Y is not the Architect, A is the Architect.
Correct Answer: Option D — A
