Analysis of Preferences
To solve who plays the Santoor, let's analyze the information step by step.
Members and Their Games
- A: Likes Badminton, plays Flute.
- B: Likes Carrom, plays Banjo.
- C: Plays Harmonium.
- D: Unknown game and instrument.
- E: Plays Bridge, not Harmonium or Tabla.
- F: Plays Guitar, does not like Table Tennis or Lawn Tennis.
- G: Plays Hockey, plays Sitar.
Games Played
From the clues, we deduce:
- A likes Badminton and plays the Flute.
- B likes Carrom and plays the Banjo.
- C plays the Harmonium but the game is unknown.
- E plays Bridge and does not play Harmonium or Tabla.
- F plays Guitar but does not like Table Tennis or Lawn Tennis.
- G plays Hockey and the Sitar.
Remaining Games and Instruments
After matching the games and instruments, the following can be summarized:
- Carrom - B (Banjo)
- Badminton - A (Flute)
- Bridge - E (unknown instrument)
- Hockey - G (Sitar)
- Football - Unknown (D or E)
- Lawn Tennis - Unknown (D or E)
- Table Tennis - Unknown (D or E)
Since E plays Bridge and cannot play Tabla or Harmonium, the only remaining instrument is Santoor.
Conclusion
Thus, the person who plays Santoor is E.
The correct answer is option C.
