A, B, C, D, and E are five friends who play different musical instruments. A plays the guitar, B plays the piano, C plays the drums, D plays the flute, and E plays the violin. If A and C are not friends, which instrument does the friend of E play? (2023)
  • Step 1: Identify the friends and the instruments they play: A plays guitar, B plays piano, C plays drums, D plays flute, E plays violin.
  • Step 2: Note that A and C are not friends.
  • Step 3: Since A and C are not friends, E cannot be friends with A or C.
  • Step 4: The remaining friends are B and D. E must be friends with one of them.
  • Step 5: If E is friends with D, then D plays the flute. But we need to find out which instrument the friend of E plays.
  • Step 6: Since E cannot be friends with A or C, E must be friends with B, who plays the piano.
  • Step 7: Therefore, the friend of E (B) plays the piano.
