Six swimmers, Arif, Binod, Chandu, Danish, Emil and Firoz, finished a race, and no two finished at the same time. Chandu finished after Arif but before Emil. Binod finished just after Emil. Firoz finished first, and Danish finished last. Who finished third?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Chandu
Build the finishing order from the first swimmer to the last. ‘Just after’ means the very next place.
Firoz finished first and Danish last, so places 2 to 5 are for Arif, Binod, Chandu and Emil
Chandu finished after Arif and before Emil: Arif, Chandu, Emil
Binod finished just after Emil: Arif, Chandu, Emil, Binod in places 2 to 5
Order: Firoz, Arif, Chandu, Emil, Binod, Danish
The third swimmer is Chandu
