Truck E will arrive last at the depot.
It is given that there are five trucks: A, B, C, D, and E
Hint 1: Truck A arrives back at the depot before truck C
There can be any number of trucks in between them.
Therefore: A > C
Hint 2: Truck E is after truck B who is 2 after truck D and 3 after truck A.
B is 2 after D and 3 after A therefore A and D are consecutive.
Therefore: A > D > _ > B > E
Hint 3: Truck D arrives before truck C but after truck A.
In hint two it is mentioned that B is two after D therefore there is a gap between B and D, hence C will come between B and C.
Therefore: A > D > C > B > E
Therefore, we can see that E is the last truck to arrive at the depot.
