Employees of Each Department
What was the data given?
Let's make a table where columns represent the sport & row represents the employee.There are 3 tables 1 for each department. To make table shorter we will use the initials only of sports' & employees' names as below.
Table |
A - Alex, B - Betty, C - Carol, D - Dan, E - Earl, F - Fay, G - George, H - Harry.
F - Football, C - Cricket, V - Volleyball, Bd - Badminton, LT - Lawn Tennis, Bs - Basketball,
H - Hockey, TT - Table Tennis
Now taking clues one by one into consideration.
1. Dan works in Administration and does not like either Football or Cricket.
Table 1 |
2. Fay works in Personnel with only Alex who likes Table Tennis.
This indicates that Alex is working in Personnel department & likes Table Tennis. Fay working in same department may like any other sports than Table Tennis. No body other working in this department.

3. Earl and Harry do not work in the same department as Dan.
Hence they must be working in Marketing department!
