Answer:

No, Nut D will not fit Bolt A.

Explanation:

Since, it is given that:

  • Nut A fits on Bolt B.
  • Bolt C does not fit Nut A or Nut B.
  • Nut D fits on Bolt B.
  • Bolt C is the same size as Bolt D, but smaller than Bolt A.

Since Bolt C and Bolt D are the same size and Nut D fits Bolt B.

Hence, Bolt C fits Nut B.

Hence, it will not fit Bolt A since ( Bolt C does not fit Nut A or Nut B )

So, Nut D will also not fit Bolt A.
