Question

Five men A, B, C, D and E read a newspaper.

The one who reads first gives it to C. The one who reads last had taken from A. E was not the first or last to read. There were two readers between B and A.

Who read the newspaper last ?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D D

From the given information we can summarize the data as :

C reads 2nd, A reads 4th.

E was not the first or last to read, then E will be 3rd to read.

Two readers between B and A means B is the first reader.

So, we get the sequence in the order of readers position as,

B $\to$ C $\to$ E $\to$ A $\to$ D.

Clearly, D reads the newspaper last.

Hence, D is the answer.
