Answer 1

Answer:

A. C - C5 - B3

Solution:

As per the given question:

Five boys A, B, C, D and E have one of five different cars C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5 (not necessarily in the same order). Each also likes one bike out of five different bikes B1, B2, B3, B4, and B5 (not necessarily in the same order).

• C does not like B2. B has C3 but does not like B3.

• E does not have C4 but likes B4.

•  A does not like B5. C and D do not have C2 and C1 respectively. ​

Boys	Cars	Bikes
A		B5
B	C3	B3
C	C2	B2
D	C1
E	C4	B4

• The one who has C2 likes B5. The one who has C1 likes B2.

Boys	Cars	Bikes
A	C1	B2
B	C3	B3
C	C2	B2
D	C2	B5
E	C4	B4

Therefore, the final arrangement will be:

Boys	Cars	Bikes
A	C1	B2
B	C3	B1
C	C4	B3
D	C2	B5
E	C5	B4

 

Thus, the combination 'C - C5 - B3' is not correct.

Hence, the correct answer is "C - C5 - B3".
