Six persons A, B, C, D, E, F were playing card games. A's father, mother and uncle were in the group.
There were two women.
B, who is A's mother, got more points than her husband.
D got more points than E but less than F.
Niece of E got least points.
A's father got more points than F but failed to win the game.
Who won the game?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → B
First the relations fix who is who, then the points clues are joined into one order.
Who is who:
B is A’s mother, so A’s father and uncle are two of C, D, E and F
The person with the least points is a niece of E, so E is A’s uncle and A is that niece (A is a girl; with B, the two women)
A’s father got more points than F, and F got more than D, so the father is neither F nor D; A’s father is C
The points order:
B got more than her husband C: B > C
C got more than F: C > F
F > D > E, and A got the least
So B > C > F > D > E > A, and B won the game
