Explanation

• The solution requires synthesizing information from four separate statements to build a complete profile for each individual.
• By combining the sports from statements (ii) and (iii), we find that C plays Badminton, Cricket, and Football.
• Statement (ii) establishes that C plays Badminton and Cricket.
• Statement (iii) adds Football to C's list of sports.
• Therefore, C is the only individual who plays the specific combination of badminton, football, and cricket.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

• Option A: Person A plays Football, Hockey, and Badminton. He does not play Cricket.
• Option B: Person B plays Football, Hockey, and Cricket. He does not play Badminton.
• Option D: Person D plays Badminton, Cricket, and Hockey. He does not play Football.

Related Visual

• Visual 1: Logic Grid - A grid with people (A, B, C, D) as rows and sports (Football, Hockey, Badminton, Cricket) as columns. Ticks or crosses can be placed in each cell based on the statements, providing a clear visual method to arrive at the solution.

Clinical Relevance

• Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
• This question is not related to a clinical or nursing concept.
• It assesses logical reasoning and the ability to synthesize multiple pieces of information, a foundational skill for problem-solving in any professional field, including nursing.
• For example, a nurse uses similar logical deduction to connect various patient symptoms, lab results, and medical history to understand the complete clinical picture.

How to Approach the Question

• First, identify the entities (people: A, B, C, D) and attributes (sports: football, hockey, badminton, cricket) in the puzzle.
• Create a table or a grid with people as rows and sports as columns to organize the information systematically.
• Read each statement carefully and mark the corresponding cells in your table. For example, for statement (i), put a checkmark under 'Football' and 'Hockey' for both person A and person B.
• After processing all four statements, review the completed table for each person to see the full list of sports they play.
• Compare the final list for each person against the condition given in the question ('plays badminton, football and cricket').
• The person whose list matches the condition is the correct answer.
