Ashlen, Blakely, Custard, Daffy, Earl, Fala and Gabino, are all kept in two available pens. Pen 1 holds
three puppies, and pen 2 holds four puppies. If Gabino is kept in pen 1, then Daffy is not kept in pen 2. If
Daffy is not kept in pen 2, then Gabino is kept in pen 1. If Ashlen is kept in pen 2, then Blakely is not
kept in pen 2. If Blakely is kept in pen 1, then Ashlen is not kept in pen 1. Which of the following groups
of puppies could be in pen 2?
Show answer & explanation
Consider option A: If Gabino, Daffy, Custard and Earl are in pen 2, then Ashlen and Blakely will be in pen
1 which is not possible according to the last
condition given. Therefore Option 1 is not correct. Consider option B: According to condition 3 both
Ashlen and Blakely cannot be in pen 2 together.
Therefore Option 2 is not correct. Consider option C: In the second condition it is given that if Daffy is
not kept in pen 2 then Gabino is kept in pen 1.
Therefore Option 3 is not correct.
