Comprehension

Shown below is the layout of major streets in a city

Two days (Thursday and Friday) are left for campaigning before a major election, and the city administration has received requests from five political parties for taking out their processions along the following routes.  

PartyProcession Route
CongressA-C-D-E
BJPA-B-D-E
SPA-B-C-E
BSPB-C-E
CPMA-C-D

Street B-D cannot be used for a political procession on Thursday due to a religious procession. The district administration has a policy of not allowing more than one procession to pass along the same street on the same day. However, the administration must allow all parties to take out their procession during these two days.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

From the routing information, Congress and BSP both need to use the same route, A-C-D-E (for Congress) and B-C-E (for BSP), which would conflict if they are allowed on the same day. Hence, statement (4) is NOT true.
