MCQ - 93-727

Art, Dash, Aggie and Phil are taking part in a mystery role-playing game. Each has been assigned a method of committing a murder—poison, a knife, a tire iron or piano wire—and a set of rules regarding their use. The following rules and conditions are in effect:
• The tire iron cannot be used by a woman.
• Art has a broken arm, so he cannot use piano wire or the tire iron.
• Aggie and her husband are the same size and the smallest people in the game.
• For appearances, only the largest person is allowed to use the tire iron.
• Phil is the second largest person in the game.
• Neither Dash nor Aggie can use the poison.
• Neither Phil nor Aggie can use the knife.

Question:

Based on the information in the argument, which of the male contestants is married to Aggie?

  1. Art
  2. Dash
  3. Phil
  4. Dash

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

One of the initial conditions given in the passage that sets up the analytical exercise is that Aggie is the same size as her husband, and they are tied for the smallest person in the game. Since they are the smallest people in the game, and there are four players, the condition that identifies Phil as the second-largest person in the game eliminates him from consideration, which eliminates Statement C. Since Aggie’s husband is explicitly identified as playing the game, Statement D can be rejected out of hand. Additionally, since the initial conditions state that only the largest person can use the tire iron, and Art, Phil and Aggie have been eliminated from its use, that leaves Dash, which thus eliminates him as a possibility for Aggie’s husband, thus removing Statement B. Only Art can be Aggie’s husband, making A correct.
