ReasoningSyllogism & Logical Deduction
(i) Tom, Dick and Harry are intelligent. (ii) Tom, Brown and Jack are hard working. (iii) Brown, Harry and Jack are honest. (iv) Tom, Dick and Jack are ambitious. Which of the following persons is neither hard working nor ambitious?
  1. a.Tom
  2. b.Dick
  3. c.Harry
  4. d.Jack

Answer: (C) Harry

Hard-working: Tom, Brown, Jack. Ambitious: Tom, Dick, Jack. Harry is in neither list (he is only intelligent and honest), so he is neither hard-working nor ambitious. Brown is hard-working but not ambitious, and Dick is ambitious but not hard-working; Brown is not among the options anyway.
