Grouping Questions

MCQ - 146-780

At the poetry slam, three friends—Al, Betty and Chaz—sign up to perform six well-known poems, designated here as Hop, Bop, Cop, Top, Sop and Mop. Each poem will be performed individually by one poet, and each poem can only be performed once. To decide the order of the poems, the owner of the coffee shop that organizes the poetry slam lays down the following rules:
• Hop must be performed before Top and before Mop.
• Cop must be performed after Bop and before Sop.
• Al can perform Hop, Bop and Sop.
• Betty can perform Cop, Top and Bop.
• Chaz can perform Hop, Mop and Top.
• Different poets must begin and end the slam, i.e. whatever poet performs the first poem cannot perform the last one.

Question:

If Chaz opens the slam by performing Hop, which combination of poet and poem can be performed second?

  1. Al, with Sop
  2. Betty, with Cop
  3. Chaz, with Cop
  4. Betty, with Cop

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Based on the rules, Statement A is an invalid option for the second slot, because although Al can perform Sop, that poem must follow Cop, and since Hop is the first poem performed, that conditions is not met; thus, A is rejected. Similarly, Statement B is also not a valid option, because Cop must follow Bop in the slam ordering, which it has not. Statement C must be discarded because Chaz cannot perform Cop in the slam; it’s not one of the options he has available, so C cannot be considered as an answer. Only Statement D, which correctly matches poet to available poem and in the correct order, can legitimately follow Hop as a performance option; thus, D is the correct answer.
