Question

During a period of six consecutive days - day 1 through day 6 - each of exactly six factories - F, G, H, J, Q, and R - will be inspected. The schedule for the inspection must conform to the following conditions:

Conditions:

F is inspected after G and before R.
J is inspected on day 3.
H is not inspected on day 6.
On which day is factory G inspected?
a) Day 1
b) Day 2
c) Day 4
d) Day 5

Answer 1

Factory G must be inspected on day 1 because it has to be inspected before factories F and R, and since another factory, J, is already scheduled for day 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine on which day factory G is inspected, we have to consider the given conditions:

• F is inspected after G and before R.
• J is inspected on day 3.
• H is not inspected on day 6.

Since F is inspected after G, G cannot be inspected on the last day, day 6. Additionally, because F must also come before R, G must be inspected even earlier. With J being inspected on day 3, this leaves only the first two days as options for G's inspection.

Therefore, the correct answer is: a) Day 1
