Answer: (C) D

List each girl's games from the two statements in which she appears. A: football, volleyball, badminton. B: football, volleyball, cricket. C: cricket, football, badminton. D: badminton, cricket, volleyball. Only D plays badminton, cricket and volleyball, and D is option (C). A quicker way: the girl wanted does not play football, and the only two statements that leave out football are "C and D play badminton and cricket" and "D and A play volleyball and badminton"; D is common to both. (In the booklet the girls' names carry a bar over the letter.)
