Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Let us endeavor to write the letters representing the racers in order of finish—first place being the first letter on the left. Let a star represent an unknown number of racers.
- For example, * S *
- Let a lower line represent one unknown racer.
- For example,---S---
Now let us proceed to get the correct order of finish by referring to the information listed under outcomes
Outcome 1 tells us that S cannot be in first place.
- Therefore, * S *
- Outcome 2 says either: U ---- ----V or V ---- ----U
- Outcome 3 says both: U * R and V * R
- Outcome 4 yields: S----V
Now consider again outcomes 1,2,3,4 collectively and then proceed step-by-step
- Step 1: * S *
- Step 2 : U ---- ----V or V ---- ----U
- Step 3: U ---- ----V * R or V ---- ----U *R
- Step 4: WUS ---- VR
- Step 5: WUSTVR which is the complete order of finish
No racer is between T and V. since T finishes immediately before V
