An electrical circuit for a set of
4 lights depends on a system of switches
A,B,C and
D. When these switches work they have the following effect on the lights: They each change the state of two lights (i.e. on becomes off and off becomes on). The lights that each switch controls are as follows.
A | B | C | D |
1 and 2 | 2 and 4 | 1 and 3 | 3 and 4 |
In configuration
1 shown below, switches
CBDA are activated in turn, resulting in configuration
2. One switch did not work and had no effect at all. Which was that switch?
