Question
Five people stand in line: three men, Denzel, Melvin and Aneet, and two women, Janine and Susan. The order in which they stand must match the following conditions:1. A man is not first in line.2. Denzel is ahead of Janine in the line.3. A woman must stand fourth in line.4. Melvin cannot stand next to Denzel.In which position does Melvin stand in the line?
Solution
Given the conditions, let's solve this step by step:
-
A man is not first in line. This means either Janine or Susan must be first.
-
Denzel is ahead of Janine in the line. This means Janine cannot be first. So, Susan must be first.
-
A woman must stand fourth in line. This means one of the men must be second in line, since the first position is already occupied by Susan.
-
Melvin cannot stand next to Denzel. This means Melvin cannot be second, because we know Denzel must be ahead of Janine, and Janine cannot be first or second (since a man must be second). So, Denzel must be second.
Given these conditions, Melvin must be third in line. Aneet, the remaining man, must be fifth, because a woman (Janine) must be fourth.
So, the final order is: Susan, Denzel, Melvin, Janine, Aneet. Therefore, Melvin stands in the third position in the line.
