MCQ - 202-836

Four stamp dealers (Abby, Baker, Carmen, and David) each attend a different day of a stamp convention, held Thursday through Sunday of one week.
Carmen attends earlier
David attends later than Baker.

You may wish to draw a simple diagram symbolizing the information contained in the conditions. Since you know that Carmen attends earlier than Abby, you might wish to put Carmen somewhere to the left of Abby. (Note that “earlier” does not mean exactly one day earlier, but rather “sometime earlier”):

And since David attends later than Baker:

Notice that while no exact days can be determined from the information, you do know that C must be somewhere to the left of A and that B must be somewhere to the left of D. you can, if you wish, eliminate some possibilities as impossible, or “rule breakers”:

Question:

If Carmen attends the convention on Saturday, who must attend on Thursday?

Abby
Baker
David
Baker
Either Baker or David

Correct Answer: B

Question that use conditional information (if, suppose, given that, assume, etc) intend that you use that information but given that, assume, etc.) intend that you use that information but only for that particular question. So, for this question only, if Carmen attends on Saturday, Abby must attend on Sunday, since the first condition states that Carmen attends earlier than Abby. Since David attends later than Baker, of the remaining two days, Baker must attend on Thursday, and David must attend on Friday. Now that you have used the conditional information included in that question, return to the information contained only in the original conditions. (Disregard the information added in the previous question.)
