AC
CD
DA
Cannot be determined


Answer

 Option

B and F are children of D.
A is grandmother of F. So, B and F represent third generation.
Now, C is the daughter-in-law of E. So, A and E form a couple and represent first generation.
A, being grandmother, is a female and so E is a male.
C is the daughter-in-law of E and D is E's son. Thus, CD is the other couple and represents
seconds generation.
C likes black, B likes pink. Green and yellow are the preferences of a couple. So, 
F likes white and D likes red.
Now, E likes white and so cannot be a lady. B is the son of D and hence a male.
AE and CD are are two couples.

38.  Daksh is taller than Manick but no as tall as Rohan. Somesh is shorter than Daksh but taller than Farhan. Who among them is the shortest ?


Daksh
Manick
Farhan
Cannot be determined

Thus, the whole sequence may be :
(i) Rohan > Daksh > Manick > Somesh > Farhan; or
(ii) Rohan > Daksh > Somesh > Manick > Farhan; or
(iii) Rohan > Daksh > Somesh > Farhan > Manick.
Thus, either Manick or Farhan my be the shortest. So, the given information is insufficient.
