Grouping Questions

MCQ - 96-730

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:

Which weapon does Aggie use in the game?

  1. Poison
  2. Knife
  3. Piano wire
  4. Knife

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

As described in the initial conditions, Aggie can’t use either the poison or the knife for weapons in the game. Furthermore, the first of the initial conditions specifically states that the tire iron cannot be used by a woman in the game. Although Aggie is generally considered a feminine name, she is not explicitly identified as female until a later condition, where it states that Aggie and her husband are tied for the smallest people in the game. Once that identification is made, then the previous condition is applied to Aggie in the game, and the tire iron is eliminated from her use. That leaves only the piano wire for a possible weapon, which makes D the correct answer.
