Question

The question is based on a set of conditions. Choose the response that most accurately and completely answer the question.

Mercotek carried out a study to compare the productivity of its night shift with that of its day shift Every week the company’s six crews–F, G, H, R, and T-were ranked first (most productive) to sixth (least productive). There were notices. For any given week, either G and T were the two night-shift crews or else S and H were- the four other crew(s) were-the the day-shift crews for that week.
The following relationships held for every week of the study:

F is more productive than G.
R is more productive than S.
R is more productive than T.
S is more productive than H. and G is more productive than T.

If the night-shift crews rank fifth and sixth for a given week of the study, then which one of the following could also be true of that week?

पर्याय

• G ranks fourth.

• H ranks fifth.

• R ranks third.

• S ranks fourth

Answer 1

R ranks third.

Explanation:

The fifth and sixth-ranked crews can be either G and  T or S and H.  
So H can never be ranked fifth.  
If  S and H are ranked fifth and sixth, two arrangements  (in descending order) are possible;  
F G R T S H or R F G T S H  
We find that G cannot be fourth and R can be ranked third.
