Question

Which among the following are petrol cars?

• A. S and T
• B. P, Y, Q
• C. P and S
• D. P, Y, S, Q

Hint:

Pay attention to clues that indicate the type of cars (petrol or diesel) and the positions of the cars based on the given conditions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

We are given the following conditions: - Seven cars P, Q, R, S, T, Y, and X are parked in a linear row, facing north. - The cars are parked in such a way that no two cars are parked with each other according to alphabetical order (for example, P is not parked with Q, Q is not parked with P, and R and S should not be together). - Some cars are petrol cars, and some cars are diesel cars. - T is second to the right of Q, and Q is a diesel car, which means Q is not a petrol car. - X is a diesel car and is parked at one of the extreme ends. This helps us determine the position of X. - Y is to the right of T, and Y is a diesel car. - The remaining cars are arranged in ascending order of the distance covered by them, from left to right. - Car Q covers 37 km, and Car R covers 50 km, which gives us the distance order of the cars. From this information, we can deduce the following: - We know that Y and Q are both diesel cars, and based on the clue that T is second to the right of Q, we infer the positions of cars. - X, also a diesel car, must be parked at the extreme end. Therefore, the petrol cars are the ones that do not satisfy the conditions of the diesel cars. Thus, based on this logic, the cars that are petrol cars are: - P and S. So, the correct answer is (c) P and S.
