Q. No. 119

Analytical Reasoning Question No. 119

The art director of an advertising company is preparing a sales brochure for a boat-manufacturing company. To represent her client’s line of products, she wants a separate full-page color advertisement in the brochure for each of the following five types of boats: kayaks, motorboat, pedal boat, raft, and sailboat. Thus, there will be exactly five printed pages, numbered consecutively one through five, in the brochure. Because she also wants to show the range of colors that the manufacturer uses, one of the boats pictured must be green, one must be orange, one must be tan, one must be white, and one must be yellow. In designing the brochure, she had made the following decisions:

1. The motorboat will be advertised on a lower-numbered page than the pedal boat.
2. The sailboat will be advertised on a lower-numbered page than the kayak.
3. The white boat will be advertised on a lower-numbered page than a yellow boat.
4. The orange boat will be advertised on page three.
5. The pedal boat advertised will be tan.
