Question

Which of the following statements is superfluous for the above sitting arrangements ?

• A. Only (i)
• B. Only (ii)
• C. Only (iii)
• D. Only (iv)
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A Only (i)

Consider two cars I and II.

A and D sit in the same car, say I.

H is not in the same car i.e. H is in car II.

B and C are not in the same car in which D is sitting i.e. B and C are in car II.

F sits along with A and E in the same car i.e. car I.

G is in the other car i.e. car II.

Thus, we have :

Car I $\to$ A, D, E, F

Car II $\to$ B, C, G, H

Clearly, Statement (i) is not necessary.
