The details given below relate to the FOUR items that follow:
Amit wishes to buy a magazine. Four magazines—one each on politics, sports, science and films are available to choose from. They are edited by Feroz, Gurbaksh, Swami and Ila (not necessarily in that order) and published by Aryan, Bharat, Charan and Dev Publishers (not necessarily in that order). Further, it is given that
(i) Dev Publishers have published the magazine edited by Feroz.
(ii) The magazine on politics is published by Aryan Publishers.
(iii) The magazine on films is edited by Swami and is not published by Charan Publishers.
(iv) The magazine on science is edited by Ila. For the following four items, select the correct answer:

The question presents four magazines on different topics, commercialized by four different publishers and edited by four different editors. The question asks to identify the publisher of the science magazine.

Looking at the given information:

(i) Dev Publishers published the magazine edited by Feroz. We do not know the magazine`s subject.

(ii) Aryan Publishers published the politics magazine, which does not relate directly to the science magazine.

(iii) The magazine on films edited by Swami is not published by Charan Publishers. This implies Charan Publishers could publish the science magazine.

(iv) Ila edited the science magazine. Now, from given points, the science magazine can`t be published by Dev Publishers (publishing Feroz`s editing) or Aryan Publishers (publishing politics) or Charan Publishers (not publishing films, hence Science, Sports, or politics - but Aryan publishes politics)

After the logical deduction, Charan Publishers remain the only logical choice to publish the science magazine. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: `Charan Publishers`.
