Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Draw a table of possible combinations.
For Statements 2 and 3, we find that Ali must be in second slot and that Haroon must be in the third slot because Haroon cannot be in the end apartment. There are , then, two possible apartment position combinations:
|
Apartment 1 |
Apartment 2 |
Apartment 3 |
Apartment 4 |
| Combination 1 |
Mustafa |
Ali |
Haroon |
Afzal |
| Combination 2 |
Afzal |
Ali |
Haroon |
Mustafa |
Now, since Mustafa owns the white car and Afzal owns the black car, we find the possible apartment position and car color combinations to be the following:
|
Apartment 1 |
Apartment 2 |
Apartment 3 |
Apartment 4 |
| Possibility 1 |
Mustafa: white |
Ali: Orange |
Haroon: Maroon |
Afzal: Black |
| Possibility 2 |
Mustafa: White |
Ali: Maroon |
Haroon: Orange |
Afzal: Black |
| Possibility 3 |
Mustafa: Black |
Ali: Orange |
Haroon: Maroon |
Afzal: White |
| Possibility 4 |
Mustafa: Black |
Ali: Orange |
Haroon: Maroon |
Afzal: White |
Now we can proceed to answer the questions with reference to the table above
The table indicates that there may be one apartment between Afzal and Haroon or that they may live next to each other. So Choice C is correct since it is not necessarily true. The other four choices are always true according to the table
