Five friends, Aye, Bea, Cee, Dea and Eeh have a race.
Aye finishes in front of Cee
Dea finishes two places in front of Aye
Bea finishes just behind Cee
In which place did Aye finish?
A 1st place B 2nd place C 3rd place D 4th place E 5th place
C
This question is about applying logic to the information given. Working through the statements: A finishes in front of C, but we do not know by how many places. D finishes two places in front of A, so we have D, a space, then A and somewhere behind A is C B finishes just behind C, so now we have, D, a space, A, then somewhere behind A, C, and then B. The only friend we have no information about is E, but we have a space between D and A, so E must be between D and A, which means the five friends finish in the order D, E, A, C, B. Therefore, A finishes in 3rd place, answer C
