Since no man is advocate or doctor, the advocate or
doctor is a lady
Married Professor Advocate Doctor
Anu
Samir X X
Atul X X
Rohini
Mohit X X
Sunil X X

4. LOGICAL GAMES
Married Professor Advocate Doctor
Anu
Samir  X X
Atul  X X
Rohini 
Mohit  X X
Sunil X X
Since Atul is the married son of mohit, both Atul and Mohit
are married. Husband is Samir indicates Samir is married.
Husband of Rohini indicates Rohini is married. Since there
are two married couples, Anu and Sunil are unmarried.

Mohit  X X
Sunil  X X
The husband of Rohini cannot be Samir. Mohit is retired
and not earning. So Atul is the husband of Rohini. The
unmarried professor is Sunil. Sister of sunil cannot be
Rohini. So anu earns the least.

From 2, Anthony is not the shorter fighter. So Case I is eliminated.
From 2, Bernard cannot be both older and shorter than Charles. So Case III is
eliminated.
Then Case 2 is the correct one and Charles is not fighting.
Then from 2, Bernard is younger than Charles (So Charles is the oldest of the three
and Anthony is the youngest) and
From 3, Anthony is taller than Charles.
Hence Anthony is the tallest of all.
CHARLES IS NOT FIGHTING!
