MCQ - 81-1029

An artist has exactly seven paintings T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z from which she must choose exactly five to be in an exhibit. Any combination is acceptable provided it meets the following conditions:

  • If T is chosen, X cannot be chosen
  • If U is chosen, Y must also be chosen
  • If V is chosen, X must also be chosen

Question:

Which one of the following is an acceptable combination of paintings for inclusion in the exhibit?

  1. T, U, V, X, Y
  2. T, U, V, Y, Z
  3. T, W, X, Y, Z
  4. T, U, V, Y, Z
  5. U, V, X, Z, Y

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

Paintings: T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z

To be chosen: 5

Condition:

  • If T is chosen, X cannot be chosen ⇒ T – X not together
  • If U is chosen, Y must also be chosen ⇒ U – Y together
  • If V is chosen, X must also be chosen ⇒ V – X together

Let’s explore all individual options:

  • T, U, V, X, Y ⇒ This is not valid as it violates 1st condition.
  • T, U, V, Y, Z ⇒ This is not valid as V requires X, which can’t be together with T.
  • T, W, X, Y, Z ⇒ This is not valid as it violates 1st condition.
  • U, V, W, Y, Z ⇒ This is not valid as it violates 3rd condition.
  • U, V, X, Z, Y ⇒ This is valid as it doesn’t violates any condition.

Hence answer is U, V, X, Z, Y.
