Puzzles — PYPs

Step 1: Deduce Ved's wife
Ved's wife does not like Sushma and Vimla, logically ruling them both out as his partner. The clue 'Kusum does not care for Ved' implies Kusum is also not his wife. By strict elimination, Ved's wife has to be Poonam.

Step 2: Deduce Sushma's husband
We already know Sushma is not married to Ved. The clues state 'Prem's wife is friendly with Sushma' (meaning Prem is married to someone else) and 'Sushma does not like Raj' (implying they are not married). By elimination, Sushma's husband has to be Ashok.

Step 3: Lock in the remaining couples
Couples confirmed so far: (Ved & Poonam), (Ashok & Sushma).
Remaining men: Prem, Raj. Remaining women: Vimla, Kusum.
The prompt mentions Prem's wife is friendly with Sushma. Since Sushma and Vimla are explicitly stated to be friends, Prem's wife must be Vimla.
By default, this leaves Raj married to Kusum.

Step 4: Stat-check the statements
* A. Raj's wife is Kusum $\rightarrow$ True.
* B. Sushma's husband is Ashok $\rightarrow$ True.
* C. Poonam is wife of Ved $\rightarrow$ True.
* D. Poonam is friendly with Vimla $\rightarrow$ False (Poonam, who is Ved's wife, explicitly dislikes Vimla).

Statements A, B, and C are correct.

Final Answer: A, B and C only

In a mirror image the left and right sides are swapped, while top and bottom stay put.

Options A and B show figures that differ from the original in more than just left-right - the limbs themselves are in different positions - so both are out.

Option C is simply the original figure repeated, unchanged, so it cannot be its own mirror image.

Option D keeps every limb in the same vertical position but flips the whole figure left to right - the ball moves from the top-left corner to the top-right, and the outstretched arm swaps sides. D is the mirror image.

*Tip:* if you're unsure what a mirror image does, elimination gets you there - discard any option that changes the figure itself, and any that repeats the original unchanged.

A water image is the figure reflected in the surface below it: top and bottom swap, left and right stay put. It is the opposite of a mirror image, which swaps left and right.

Track the landmarks of the original. The short cross-bar sits at the top, the small circle at the bottom-right, one arrowhead points up-left and the other down-right.

Invert all of that vertically: the cross-bar drops to the bottom, the circle rises to the top-right - still on the right - and the two arrowheads become down-left and up-right, each keeping its side of the figure. Only Option 3 does this; the others either turn the figure left-to-right or rotate it.
