Question

During a trial, an attorney is planning to call to the stand to testify six different witnesses- T, V, W, X, Y, and Z. She will call each witness exactly one time, and the  other in which she calls them is subject to the following conditions  

(i) The fourth witness must be T.  
(ii) W and Y must both be called before V.  
(iii) X must be called before W.

Which of the following must be true about the order in which the attorney calls the witnesses?

विकल्प

• She calls V before T

• She calls X before V  

• She calls Y before W  

• She calls Y before X  

Answer 1

She calls X before V

Explanation:

Option 'She calls X before V' is correct as W & Y are called before V -2nd condition & X is called before W-3rd condition. Thus X can be called before V.

Option 'She calls V before T' is incorrect as if V is called before T, W & Y should be called before V as per 2nd condition also X should be called before W leading 4 people to be called before T but only 3 people can be called before T as T should be called 4th.
