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. B passed the newspaper to whom ?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B C

We can arrange the information in order as :

C is 2nd, A is fourth

E is not the first and last to read, then E will be on third.

Since there are two readers between B and A, so B will be the first reader, and the remaining D will be the last reader.

So the sequence is :

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

Clearly, B passed the newspaper to C.

Hence C is the correct answer.
