Question and options

Direction: Answer the question on the basis of the given information.
At a small company, parking spaces are reserved for the top executives: CEO, president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer—with the spaces lined up in that order. The parking lot guard can tell at a glance if the cars are parked correctly by looking at the color of the cars.
The cars are yellow, green, purple, red, blue and the executives’ names are Alice, Bert, Cheryl, David, and Enid.
■ The car in the first space is red.
■ A blue car is parked between the red car and the green car.
■ The car in the last space is purple.
■ The secretary drives a yellow car.
■ Alice’s car is parked next to David’s.
■ Enid drives a green car.
■ Bert’s car is parked between Cheryl’s and Enid’s.
■ David’s car is parked in the last space.

What color is the vice president’s car?
  1. Green
  2. Yellow
  3. Blue
  4. Purple

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - Green
Space 1 is red and space 5 purple (David). Blue lies between red and green, so blue is 2 and green 3 (Enid); yellow is 4 (the secretary). Alice is next to David, so Alice is 4. Bert is between Cheryl and Enid, so Bert is 2 and Cheryl 1. The VP (space 3) drives green.
