✅ Answers & Explanations
The five houses are arranged from left to right:
House 1 → House 2 → House 3 → House 4 → House 5
Step 1: Place Bheem, Bala and Bhargav
Bheem lives in House 3 and uses Peter England.
Bheem’s house is immediately to the left of Bala’s house. Therefore:
Bheem → House 3
Bala → House 4
Bala is Vimala’s husband.
Bhargav lives in House 1.
House | Husband | Wife | Brand |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Bhargav | — | — |
2 | — | — | — |
3 | Bheem | — | Peter England |
4 | Bala | Vimala | — |
5 | — | — | — |
Step 2: Place the Raymonds user
The person using Raymonds lives in House 5, and his wife is Vijaya.
House | Husband | Wife | Brand |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Bhargav | — | — |
2 | — | — | — |
3 | Bheem | — | Peter England |
4 | Bala | Vimala | — |
5 | — | Vijaya | Raymonds |
Step 3: Identify Vanaja’s husband
Both Bhargav and the Peter England user are the neighbours of Vanaja’s husband.
Bhargav lives in House 1.
The Peter England user, Bheem, lives in House 3.
The only house lying between Houses 1 and 3 is House 2. Therefore, Vanaja’s husband lives in House 2.
The men not yet placed are Brahma and Bhanu.
Brahma uses Woodland. Since the person in House 5 uses Raymonds, Brahma cannot live in House 5.
Therefore:
Brahma lives in House 2 and is Vanaja’s husband.
Bhanu lives in House 5 and is Vijaya’s husband.
House | Husband | Wife | Brand |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Bhargav | — | — |
2 | Brahma | Vanaja | Woodland |
3 | Bheem | — | Peter England |
4 | Bala | Vimala | — |
5 | Bhanu | Vijaya | Raymonds |
Step 4: Place Vinati and the Polo user
Vinati’s husband uses Polo.
The possible unassigned husbands are Bhargav and Bheem.
However, Bheem already uses Peter England. Therefore, Bheem cannot be Vinati’s husband.
Hence:
Bhargav is Vinati’s husband.
Bhargav uses Polo.
The only wife remaining for Bheem is Veena.
House | Husband | Wife | Brand |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Bhargav | Vinati | Polo |
2 | Brahma | Vanaja | Woodland |
3 | Bheem | Veena | Peter England |
4 | Bala | Vimala | — |
5 | Bhanu | Vijaya | Raymonds |
Step 5: Identify the remaining brand
The brands are:
Polo
Reid and Taylor
Peter England
Raymonds
Woodland
The only unassigned brand is Reid and Taylor. Therefore, Bala uses Reid and Taylor.
