Question and options

A, B, C, D and E belong to five different cities P, Q, R, S and W (not necessarily in that order). Each one of them comes from a different city. Further it is given that:
1. B and C do not belong to Q.
2. B and E do not belong to P and R.
3. A and C do not belong to R, S and W.
4. D and E do not belong to Q and W.
Which one of the following statements is NOT correct?
  1. C belongs to P
  2. D belongs to R
  3. A belongs to Q
  4. B belongs to S

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - B belongs to S
A and C must be in P or Q; C cannot be Q so C = P and A = Q. E cannot be P, R, Q or W, so E = S. B cannot be P, Q, R and S is taken, so B = W; D gets R. Hence 'B belongs to S' is incorrect.
