Answer to Problem 14PSC
The final names matched with the animals are:
K is the Red crocodile
W is purple monkey
J is Green lizard
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The following animals are there in the zoo
Green lizard
Red crocodile
Purple monkey
The following names have to be matched
W
K
J
The following statements are told
- W cannot get along with lizard
- K took a bite off the monkey’s ear
- W is not red colored
- J is not a crocodile
We use the following two information together first:
- W is not red colored
- J is not a crocodile
Thus, W is not Red crocodile
Thus, J is also not the Red crocodile
Hence, the only one left is K
Thus, K is the Red crocodile
Now, we use the following information further:
- W cannot get along with lizard
- W is not red colored
Hence, W is not Green lizard
Thus, W is not Red crocodile
Hence, the only option left for W is Purple monkey
Thus, W is purple monkey
Now, as we see further that only J is left without a match, and only green lizard is remaining
Thus, J is Green lizard
