Who wore the red saree?
- Ms Andhra Pradesh
- Ms West Bengal
- Ms Uttar Pradesh
- Ms Maharashtra
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - Ms West Bengal
Maharashtra wears white and the white and yellow sarees are at the ends, so put Maharashtra at seat 1 and yellow (the winner) at seat 4. Andhra Pradesh wears green and is the runner-up, who sits beside Maharashtra, so she is at seat 2. West Bengal is not at an end, so she is at seat 3, which leaves Uttar Pradesh at seat 4 in yellow. The only colour left, red, goes to West Bengal.
