Directions: Read the information given below and answer the question that follows.
Five contestants, Danny, Elizabeth, Ashok, Ramesh and Franklin, entered in a puzzle show which had four puzzles – First puzzle, Second puzzle, Third puzzle and Fourth puzzle. Each puzzle had three checkboxes, Checkbox-1, Checkbox-2 and Checkbox-3, and each contestant had to choose one of the three checkboxes as his/her answer for each. The five contestants were sitting in a line, one behind the other, facing the same direction, not necessarily in the same order as mentioned above. During the show, except for the contestant sitting at the beginning of the line, each contestant copied the answer to exactly one puzzle from the contestant immediately in front of him. Further, for any pair of contestants sitting immediately next to each other, exactly one answer was the same (i.e. the answer that was copied).
It is also known that:
(i) The contestant sitting at the last position, who was not Ashok, marked the answer as Checkbox-2 for Second puzzle and Franklin, who was not at the last position, did not mark the answer to Third puzzle as Checkbox-2.
(ii) Exactly two contestants marked the answer as Checkbox-2 for First puzzle and neither of the two was sitting at any of the ends.
(iii) Danny, who was sitting immediately in front of Ashok, marked the answer as Checkbox-3 for exactly two puzzles, while Ramesh marked the answer as Checkbox-3 only for First puzzle.
(iv) Each of the four contestants who copied the answer did so for a different puzzle and each contestant marked the answer as Checkbox-1 for at least one puzzle, as Checkbox-2 for at least one puzzle and as Checkbox-3 for at least one puzzle.
(v) The contestant sitting in the middle marked the answer to Second puzzle as Checkbox-3, which he did not copy.
(vi) The contestant sitting at the second position, who was not Ashok, marked the answer as Checkbox-2 for Third puzzle, which he copied.
Q. For which of the following puzzles did both Ashok and the contestant sitting at the first position mark Checkbox-3 as their answer?
  • a)
    First puzzle
  • b)
    Fourth puzzle
  • c)
    Second puzzle
  • d)
    Cannot be determined

Analysis:

Given Information:
- The contestant at the last position did not mark Checkbox-2 for Second puzzle.
- Franklin did not mark Checkbox-2 for Third puzzle.
- Exactly two contestants marked Checkbox-2 for First puzzle, none at the ends.
- Danny marked Checkbox-3 for two puzzles, Ramesh marked Checkbox-3 for First puzzle only.
- Each contestant copied a different answer for a different puzzle.
- Each contestant marked Checkbox-1, Checkbox-2, and Checkbox-3 at least once.
- The middle contestant marked Checkbox-3 for Second puzzle.
- The second contestant (not Ashok) marked Checkbox-2 for Third puzzle.

Solution:
- Since Franklin did not mark Checkbox-2 for Third puzzle, he must have marked Checkbox-1 or Checkbox-3.
- Ramesh marked Checkbox-3 for the First puzzle and only Danny marked Checkbox-3 for two puzzles. Therefore, Danny must have marked Checkbox-3 for the Fourth puzzle.
- The middle contestant marked Checkbox-3 for the Second puzzle and the contestant at the last position did not mark Checkbox-2 for the Second puzzle. Thus, the last contestant marked Checkbox-3 for the Second puzzle.
- Since the second contestant (not Ashok) marked Checkbox-2 for the Third puzzle, Ashok must be the first contestant and marked Checkbox-3 for the Third puzzle.
- Therefore, Ashok and the contestant at the first position both marked Checkbox-3 for the Second puzzle.
Therefore, both Ashok and the contestant sitting at the first position marked Checkbox-3 as their answer for the Second puzzle.

From (vi), the person sitting at the second position and the person sitting at the first position marked the answer to Third puzzle as Checkbox-2.
From (i), Franklin cannot be at the first or second positions because he did not mark the answer to Third puzzle as Checkbox-2.
According to (iii), Danny is sitting immediately in front of Ashok. From (vi), Ashok is not at the second position. From (i), Ashok was not at the last position. Hence, Danny and Ashok can be second and third OR third and fourth.
However, if Danny and Ashok are third and fourth, Franklin cannot be at the first, second, third or fourth position. From (i), Franklin cannot be at the last position as well.
Hence, this case is not possible. Therefore, Danny and Ashok are second and third. Franklin cannot be first or fifth. Hence, Franklin has to be fourth.
Danny would have marked the answer to Third puzzle as Checkbox-2. From (v), Ashok would have marked the answer to Second puzzle as Checkbox-3. From (iv), since Danny copied the answer to Third puzzle, none of the others could have copied the answer to the same puzzle. Since Ashok did not copy the answer to Third puzzle from Danny, his answer to Third puzzle must be Checkbox 1 or 3. From (v), Ashok did not copy the answer to Second Puzzle. Hence, Danny would have marked Checkbox-1 or Checkbox-2 for Second puzzle. From (iii), Danny would have marked Checkbox-3 for First puzzle and Fourth puzzle. Since each contestant marked each checkbox for at least one puzzle (from (iv)), Danny must have marked the answer as Checkbox-1 for Second puzzle. From (ii), two contestants marked the answer as Checkbox-2 for First puzzle. These two contestants are not at extreme ends. Since Danny (at second position) marked the answer as Checkbox-3 for First puzzle, Ashok and Franklin (at fourth position) would have marked the answer to First puzzle as Checkbox-2.
From (i), Ramesh marked the answer to First puzzle as Checkbox-3. If Ramesh was at the first position, his answer would be same as Danny's answer for this puzzle, which is not possible (since Danny copied Third puzzle from the person at the first position). Hence, Ramesh cannot be first and he will be fifth. The person at the first position will be Elizabeth.
Elizabeth must have marked the answer to First puzzle as Checkbox-1 (she could not mark Checkbox-2 since only two people marked that checkbox for First puzzle; she could not mark the answer as Checkbox-3 since Danny marked it). Elizabeth could mark the answer as Checkbox-3 only for Second puzzle. For Fourth puzzle, she could have marked as Checkbox-1 or Checkbox-2.
Ashok did not copy Second puzzle from Danny. Hence, he must have copied Fourth puzzle. Therefore, Ashok would have marked the answer to Fourth puzzle as Checkbox-3. From (iv), Ashok must mark Checkbox-1 as the answer for Third puzzle (since he did not mark Checkbox-1 for any other puzzle).
Since Franklin, Danny and Ashok copied First puzzle, Third puzzle and Fourth puzzle, respectively, Ramesh must have copied Second puzzle. From (i), Ramesh marked Checkbox-2 for Second puzzle. Hence, both Ramesh and Franklin would have marked Checkbox-2 for Second puzzle.
Since Franklin marked Checkbox-2 for First puzzle and Second puzzle. He must mark Checkbox-3 for Third puzzle and Checkbox-1 for Fourth puzzle (since Ashok marked Checkbox-1 and Checkbox-3 for Third puzzle and Fourth puzzle, respectively). Since Ramesh marked Checkbox-3 only for First puzzle, he must have marked Checkbox-2 for Fourth puzzle. For Third puzzle, he must have marked Checkbox-1 (from (iv)).
The following table presents the checkboxes marked by the four contestants:

Both Ashok and the person at the first position, Elizabeth, marked Checkbox-3 as their answer for Second puzzle.
