Question

A numeric code has 3-digit key.
Hint:
6-8-2 one no. is correct and well placed.

6-1-4 one no. is correct but wrongly placed.

2-0-6 two no.s are correct but placed wrongly.

7-3-8 nothing is correct.

7-8-0 one no. is correct but wrongly placed.​

Answer 1

There are total 3 positions in all Cases

i.e. ___ , ___ , ____

Case 1)

“6-8-2 one number is correct and well placed.”

Case 2)

“6-1-4 one number is correct but wrongly placed.”

From Case 1) and Case 2) we an say that 6 is wrong. Because in both two cases 6 is placed at only one position.

So, 6 is removed from all the cases.

Case 3)

“2-0-6 two no.s are correct but placed wrongly.”

6 is already removed. So, left two numbers are 2-0, which are correct.

From Case 1) and Case 3) we can say that 2 is placed at wrong position. As in Case 1) it is put at the last position.

So, 2 is placed at last or third position.

Case 4)

“7-3-8 nothing is correct.”

As, nothing is correct in above case. So, 7, 3 and 8 are removed from all cases.

Case 5)

“7-8-0 one number is correct but wrongly placed.”

From Case 4) 7 and 8 are already removed. So, left one is 0. But 0 is placed at wrong position.

From Case 3) and Case 5)

0 is placed at first position.

Now,

Return to the 2nd Case again.

Here in, 6-1-4 one number is correct but wrongly placed.

1 is wrong. As it is in middle.

So, 4 is correct but placed at wrong place. Therefore, 4 is at second position.

So, the correct code is 0 , 4 , 2
