Five friends A, B, C, D and E travelled to five different cities; Pune, Kolkata, Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai by different modes of transport; bus, train, aeroplane, car and boat from Goa. Further, the following information is given :
(A) The person who travelled to Delhi did not travel by boat.
(B) C went to Bengaluru by car and B went to Kolkata by aeroplane.
(C) D travelled by boat and E travelled by train
(D) Goa is not connected by bus to Delhi and Pune.
Now, which of the following pair of person and mode of transport is NOT correct?

(B) C went to Bengaluru by car and B went to Kolkata by aeroplane.
(C) D travelled by boat and E travelled by train
(D) Goa is not connected by bus to Delhi and Pune.
Now, which of the following pair of person and mode of transport is NOT correct?
Solution
C travels to Bengaluru by car and B travels to Kolkata by aeroplane. We know D travels by boat and E travels by train. Bus cannot connect to Delhi or Pune from Goa, and Delhi cannot be reached by boat.
Let's map: C is fixed with Bengaluru and car, B is fixed with Kolkata and aeroplane, D must use boat which can't go to Delhi, so D must go to Pune by boat. Since E uses train and Delhi is the only major city remaining without transport, E must go to Delhi by train. This leaves Mumbai for A, and since bus is the only transport left, A must go to Mumbai by bus.
Looking at all pairs:
A travels by bus to Mumbai - correct
B travels by aeroplane to Kolkata - correct
D travels by boat to Pune - correct
E travels by train to Delhi - correct, so E-car is incorrect
Therefore, E-car is NOT the correct pairing, making it the answer.
