[X.A.T. 2007]

If v gets launched before Z does, then which one of the following could be true?

Options:

A . R is the second product to be launched.

B . T is the fourth product to be launched.

C . Q is the fourth product to be launched.

D . V is the fifth product to be launched.

E . Z is the sixth product to be launched.

Answer: Option E
Answer: (e)
As discussed above, R can have the only Z before it. So, if Z is launched after V, so (a) cannot hold.
T must be launched before each one of V, S, Y, Q, and Z. So, T cannot be the fourth. Thus, (b) doesn't hold.
Q must be launched after R, T, V, S, and Z. So, (c) does not hold. V must be launched before each one of Y, Q, S, and Z.
So, (d) does not hold. Z must be launched before Q and may have any one of Y, W, or S after it. So (e) holds.
