Question

Each of three colored cups covers one of three objects. 1) The red cup is somewhere to the left of the white cup. 2) The coin is somewhere to the left of the bean. 3) The gray cup is somewhere to the right of the shell. 4) The bean is somewhere to the right of the gray cup. Under which color cup is the shell?

Answer 1

Answer:

Shell is under Red color cup

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 cups and 3 objects which they cover under them.

Taking into consideration (4) and (2) as they both describe the position related to bean

(4) Gray cup  →Bean (right)     (2) coin ← bean (left)  

that means coin can either under Gray cup or left to gray cup.

Now

(1) Red ← White (left)  (3) Shell → Gray  (right)

This means if we consider coin to be left of gray cup then we can't place shell to the left of gray cup as required in (3)

so coin will be under gray cup

on forming the Color of cups and the coin below them

C1             C2         C3

Red       Gray      White

 __           __          __

Shell        coin        Bean

So Shell is under Red color cup
