Read the below passage carefully and answer the questions:
Evan is a waiter in a café. After he turns in orders
for the six people sitting at the counter each of
whom is eating alone and is sitting in chairs numbered
1 through 6 the cook opens a window in
the kitchen and the order slips get messed up.
Here’s what Evan remembers about the orders:
- The entree orders are: fried eggs, a hamburger, a cheeseburger, a vegetable burger, soup, and a ham sandwich.
- The two people who did not order sandwiches are sitting at chairs 3 and 4.
- The person who ordered the cheeseburger and the one who ordered the hamburger are not sitting next to each other.
- The person in chair number 5 is a regular. She will not sit next to anyone who is eating ham.
- The person eating the vegetable burger is not sitting in chair 2, but is sitting between the person who ordered fried eggs and the one who ordered a cheeseburger.
- The customer who ordered the hamburger is not sitting next to the customer who ordered soup.

- A.the customer in chair 1
- B.the customer in chair 2
- C.the customer in chair 3
- D.the customer in chair 4
- E.the customer in chair 5
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [C]
Explanation :
Explanation :
| The customer who ordered soup must be in chair 3 or 4, where the non-sandwich orders go. The other non-sandwich order is fried eggs, and that person is sitting next to the customer in chair 5 (who ordered the vegetable burger), so the fried eggs go to chair 4 and the soup to chair 3. |
2.
To which customer should Evan serve the vegetable burger?
- A.the customer in chair 2
- B.the customer in chair 3
- C.the customer in chair 4
- D.the customer in chair 5
- E.the customer in chair 6
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [D]
Explanation :
Explanation :
| The person who ordered the vegetable burger cannot be sitting in chairs 1 or 6, because she is sitting between two people. She also cannot be sitting in chairs 3 or 4, because those customers did not order sandwiches. Since she is not sitting in chair 2, she must be in chair 5. |
3.
To which customer should Evan serve the
ham sandwich?
- A.the customer in chair 1
- B.the customer in chair 2
- C.the customer in chair 4
- D.the customer in chair 5
- E.the customer in chair 6
- Answer & Explanation
- Report
Answer : [B]
Explanation :
Explanation :
| The orders that go to chairs 3, 4, 5, and 6 are already determined, so the ham sandwich must go to chair 1 or 2. The customer who ordered the hamburger is not sitting next to the person who ordered the soup in chair 3, so the hamburger must go to chair 1 and the ham sandwich to chair 2. |
