Puzzle # 17 Easy Method > Family of Four

The Smart Scholars' Method

 

It is obvious that the four persons, in descending order of age, are: Brajesh, Madhuri, Mithun and Chitra. No two of them can be of the same age.

 

From (3), the doctor cannot be a man and hence Chitra or Madhuri is the doctor.

 

CASE I: Doctor is a woman and banker is also a woman. Then, from (1), the banker is Madhuri (because she has to be older) and the doctor is Chitra.
 

CASE II: Doctor is a woman and banker is a man. Then, from (4), the banker is Brajesh (because he has to be older) and the doctor is Chitra.
 

In either case, the doctor is Chitra. 

 

Sanity check:

 

With Chitra for the doctor, we can see that all the five conditions can be satisfied.
