Question

Mr Red, Mr White, Mr Blue, and Mr Grey each are wearing a shirt that is the same colour as the name of one of the other three men. Each man wears a different colour. Mr Red and Mr White are older than the man in grey. The man in red is next to Mr White. Which man is wearing a white shirt?

Answer 1

Based on the given information, we can determine that the man wearing a white shirt is the man in blue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the given information, we can deduce the following:

1. The man in red is older than the man in grey.
2. The man in white is older than the man in grey.
3. The man in red is next to the man in white.

From these deductions, we can determine that the man in red is older than both the man in white and the man in grey, and since every man is wearing a shirt that is the same color as one of the other three men, and each man wears a different color, it follows that the man in red cannot be wearing a red shirt, leaving us with the options of white, blue, and grey.

Since the man in red is next to the man in white and the man in white is older than the man in grey, we can conclude that the man in white cannot be wearing a white shirt.

Therefore, the man who is wearing a white shirt must be the man in blue.
