SOLUTION

Q ( 1 – 5):

Amit wants to buy Honda and only one person owns that car.
Anuj does not own Audi but wants to buy Ford.
Both Kapil and Parth own Jaguar and one of them sells his car to Anuj.

Car	Owned by		Wants to buy	Sold by
Audi
Ford			Anuj	Kapil/Parth
BMW
Jaguar	Kapil	Parth
Honda			Amit

Three people own Ford and at most two people own any of the other three cars.
At least one person owns each car and no two persons own the same set of cars.

Car	Owned by			Wants to buy	Sold by
Audi	Ravi/Amit	Kapil/Parth		Kapil/Parth	Ravi/Amit
Ford	Kapil/Parth	Ravi	Amit	Anuj	Kapil/Parth
BMW	Anuj	Ravi/Amit		Kapil/Parth	Ravi/Amit
Jaguar	Kapil	Parth		Ravi	Kapil/Parth
Honda	Anuj			Amit	Anuj

Here, we can see that Anuj owns BMW and Jaguar because we already have that Anuj doesn’t have Audi and in the above table we can see that Anuj wants to buy Ford (this means he can’t own ford also) and he can’t have Jaguar because at most two people can own a car except Honda and Ford. Thus, Anuj must own BMW and Honda. Since, only Anuj owns Honda we can say that he sells it to Amit.

Now, from the above hint we can say that both Kapil and Parth cannot own ford because it is given that no two person owns a same set of cars this means either Kapil or Parth owns Ford and whoever among them owns Ford sells it to Anuj.

And after this we can say that both Ravi and Amit owns Ford but either one of Ravi and Amit owns Audi and the other one has a BMW.

At this point we can say that Ravi wants to buy Jaguar and either one of Kapil and Parth (who doesn’t sell his car to Anuj) sells it to Ravi.

We will use the rest of the information according to the question.
