A Confectioner is making gift boxes of chocolates. Each box will contain exactly two kinds of chocolates (white and dark) to be selected from X, Y, and Z and 3 kinds of imported Swiss and Belgian chocolates to be selected from A, B, C, D, and F, with the following restrictions:
(I) Y cannot be in the same box as F
(II) A cannot be in the same box as D
(III) B cannot be in the same box as F
In a box that contains an acceptable assortment of chocolates, which of the following substitutions will always result in another acceptable assortment?
- A for D
- B for C
- F for A
- F for B
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - A for D
Putting A in place of D always works: the box had D, so it had no A, and A's only restriction is D, which is removed. B for C fails if the box has F. F for A or F for B fails if the box has Y or B.
