Which among the following statement(s) is/are true?
I. G goes after C
II. No one goes after F
III. More than three persons go between A and D
Correct Answer :
Both I and II
Solution :
The correct option is Both I and II.
Step-by-step Explanation:
We are given seven days from Monday to Sunday and seven persons: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.
Step 1: Determine the positions of B, A, and C
B goes after Thursday, which means B can go on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
There are two persons between A and B, and C goes just before A.
Let's test B on Friday:
- B goes on Friday.
- Two persons go between A and B, so A goes on Tuesday.
- C goes just before A, so C goes on Monday.
Step 2: Determine the position of D
The number of persons going before C is one less than the number of persons going after D.
Number of persons before C (Monday) = 0.
Therefore, the number of persons after D must be:
Since 1 person goes after D, D must go on Saturday.
Step 3: Determine the positions of G, F, and E
G goes three persons before F (which means G is 3 places above F).
The remaining vacant days are Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday.
If F goes on Sunday, then G must go 3 days before F, which is Thursday.
Now, E must go on the remaining day, which is Wednesday.
Let's verify the conditions for E and G:
- G (Thursday) goes after E (Wednesday), which is true.
- At least one person goes before E (Monday and Tuesday go before E), which is also true.
Final Day-wise Schedule:
Monday: C
Tuesday: A
Wednesday: E
Thursday: G
Friday: B
Saturday: D
Sunday: F
Step 4: Evaluating the Given Statements
Statement I: G goes after C
G goes on Thursday and C goes on Monday. Since Thursday comes after Monday, Statement I is True.
Statement II: No one goes after F
F goes on Sunday, which is the last day. Hence, no one goes after F. Statement II is True.
Statement III: More than three persons go between A and D
A goes on Tuesday and D goes on Saturday. The persons between A and D are E, G, and B, which is exactly 3 persons (not more than 3). Statement III is False.
Therefore, statements I and II are true.
