Answer 1

Answer:

Nut D will not fit Bolt A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our question is nut A fits on Bolt B. Bolt C does not fit Nut A or Nut B. Nut D fits on Bolt B. Bolt C is the same size as Bolt D, but smaller than Bolt A.

Since we know that

1. Nut A fits on Bolt B.
2. Bolt C does not fit Nut A or Nut B.
3. Nut D fits on Bolt B.
4. Bolt C is the same size as Bolt D, but smaller than Bolt A.
5. Since Bolt C and Bolt D are the same size and Nut D fits Bolt B.

Thus we can say that Bolt C fits Nut B. But, it will not fit Bolt A since Bolt C does not fit Nut A or Nut B.

Hence, Nut D will also not fit Bolt A.
