Today's puzzle

P 29

Three business men – Mehta, Joshi, and Patil – all live in the Dadar-Matunga region of Bombay. Three Railway men of similar names live in the same area. The businessman Joshi and the Guard live at Matunga. Patil and the stoker live at Dadar, and Mehta and the motorman live halfway between Dadar and Matunga. The Guard’s namesake earns Rs. 1 Lakh per month and the motorman earns exactly onethird of the businessman living nearest to him. Finally the Railman Mehta beats the stoker at bridge. What is the motorman’s name ?
