If Gabino is kept in pen 1, then Daffy in not kept in pen 2
If Daffy is not kept in pen 2, then Gabino in kept in pen 1
If Ashlen is kept in pen 2, then Blakely in not kept in pen 2
If Blakely is kept in pen 1, then Ashlen in not kept in pen 1
-
If Earl and Fala are in different pens, then which of the following must NOT be true?
-
- Fala shares a pen with Custard.
- Gabino shares a pen with Ashlen.
- Earl is in higher-numbered pen then Blakely.
- Blakely shares pen 2 with Earl and Daffy.
- Custard is in higher-numbered pen then Fala.
- Fala shares a pen with Custard.
Correct Option: E
As per the given question ,
Case 1: When Earl is in pen 1 and Fala is in pen 2.
Also, there is one among Ashlen and Blakely in pen 1, this will mean Gabino and Daffy will have to be in Pen 2 and Custard will have to be in Pen 1.
Case 2: When Fala is in pen 1 and Earl is in pen 2.
The same situation arises and custard will have to be in pen 1.
So the last option which says Custard is in a higher-numbered pen than Fala is always incorrect.
