Six books A, B, C, D, E and F are placed side by side. B, C and E have blue cover and the other books have red cover. Only D and F are new books and the rest are old. A, C and D are law reports and others are Gazetteers. What book is a new law report with a red colour ?
Explanation
From the given information, we know that there are 6 books placed side by side, and we can categorize them based on their cover color and type of book. Let`s represent blue cover with B and red cover with R, and law reports with L and Gazetteers with G.
So, we can represent the arrangement of the books as:
BBBLLL – where B represents blue covered books, L represents law reports, and there are three of each
Now, we know that only D and F are new books, so the arrangement becomes:
BBBLLN
where N represents the new books, which are D and F.
We have to find a new book that is a law report with a red color. From the given information, we know that there is only one new law report, which is D. And since D is a new book, it must have a red cover because all the new books have red covers. Therefore, the answer is D.
