AI Explanation

To determine who the salesman is, let's analyze the given information and make deductions step by step:

  1. 'A' is the youngest person in the group and is a student.
  2. C is the wife of B, who is a doctor.
  3. G is the father-in-law of E, an engineer.
  4. C and F are the daughters of the salesman.
  5. H is the wife of G and the grandmother of A and D.
  6. 'A' is the cousin of D and the son of the doctor.
  7. There is a lecturer in the group whose mother is a teacher.

From the given information, we can deduce the following relationships:

  • 'A' is the son of B (since B is a doctor) and the cousin of D.
  • H is the wife of G, making G the grandfather of A and D.
  • H is also the grandmother of A and D.
  • C and F are daughters of the salesman.

Based on these deductions, we can conclude that G is the grandfather, B is the father, and C is the mother of D. Since C and F are daughters of the salesman, we can deduce that the salesman is their father.

Therefore, the salesman in the group is option B.
