At a given time in a fruit shop, there are 7 persons - Q, L, S, R, K, V, and Y, consisting of 3 women and 4 men. Each of them has a different brand of mobile from among Apple, Blackberry, Samsung, Lenovo, Nokia, Sony, and Google and they are each buying a different fruit from among Lime, Grape, Apricot, Dragon fruit, Plum, Cherry, and Jackfruit, not necessarily in the given order.
No woman buys either Lime or Cherry. S buys Apricot and has a Nokia mobile. Q has the Sony mobile, which is owned by a man buying Plum. L is not buying Dragon fruit, which is bought by the person with the Google mobile. K is the man who is buying Jackfruit and owns a Blackberry mobile. V is buying Lime and does not own the Apple mobile. Y is buying Cherry and owns a Samsung mobile. The person with the Apple mobile is buying Grapes.
In the fruit shop puzzle, we have the following details for the 7 persons (Q, L, S, R, K, V, Y) along with their fruits and mobile brands:
1. S: Buys Apricot and has a Nokia mobile (Female).
2. Q: Has the Sony mobile and buys Plum (Male).
3. K: Buys Jackfruit and has a Blackberry mobile (Male).
4. V: Buys Lime (Male, does not own the Apple mobile).
5. Y: Buys Cherry and has a Samsung mobile (Male).
6. R: Buys Dragonfruit and owns a Google mobile (Female).
7. L: Buys Grape and has an Apple mobile (Female).
To understand the reasoning:
- Each individual is assigned a specific fruit and mobile brand based on the given clues.
- There are three women and four men among them.
- The specific exclusions (e.g., "no woman buys Lime or Cherry") help deduce gender and item ownership.
From the reasoning, we can summarize:
- R and L are the women, while S, Q, K, V, and Y are the men.
- The fruits owned along with their respective mobiles articulate precisely which person buys what.
This structured approach ensures clarity and logical deduction from the clues provided【4:0†source】【4:1†source】.
