Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: R earns the maximum.
R is the Doctor and is stated to earn more than both the Engineer and the Lawyer.
The Chartered Accountant earns less than the Lawyer but more than the Banker. The Teacher earns less than the Banker, and T is the least earner.
From these relations the Lawyer is above the Chartered Accountant, Banker and Teacher, while T is at the bottom.
Because R earns more than the Lawyer, and the Lawyer is already above the other named roles, no one can be placed above R.
Therefore R has the maximum income in the family.
