    Correct Option - 4


    Detailed Solution:

     

    Recreation Bill

    School Bill

    Tax Bill

    Dev

    ×

     

    Shahid

    ×

     

     

    Sukhdev

     

    ×

    Exactly one member of the council votes for the tax bill. Sukhdev votes against the tax bill. So, Dev and Shahid can’t vote for or against the tax bill in the same way. Hence, option (a) is ruled out. Shahid votes against and Sukhdev votes for recreation bill. Hence, option (b) is ruled out. Shahid and Sukhdev can’t vote the same way on the school bill as in option (c).
