Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the order of finishing in a marathon is A, B, C, D, and E, and it is known that A finished before C but after B, and D finished after E, who finished third?
  • Step 1: Identify the known relationships from the question. We know that A finished before C but after B, which means B finished first, then A, and then C.
  • Step 2: Write down the order so far: B > A > C.
  • Step 3: Next, we know that D finished after E. This means E finished before D.
  • Step 4: Since we have no information about E's position relative to B, A, or C, we can place E before D. So we can write E > D.
  • Step 5: Now we combine the two parts we have: B > A > C and E > D. Since E is not mentioned in the first part, we can place E before D without affecting the order of B, A, and C.
  • Step 6: The final order is B > A > C > E > D.
  • Step 7: From the final order, we can see that C is in the third position.
  • Order of Finishing – Understanding the relative positions of participants based on given conditions.
  • Logical Deduction – Using provided information to deduce the correct order of finishers.
