Question

Three beauty pageant finalists-cindy, amy and the linda-the winner was a musician. The one who was not last or first was a math major. The one who came in the third had black hair. Linda had red hair. Amy had no musical abilities. Who was first

Answer 1

First is Linda (answer)

she cant b 3rd bcoz she have red hair

mean she (Linda)

is 1 n 2.

now 1 have musician

but Amby cant first bcoz he have not such abilities.

so 1 n 2 may be

Linda or Cindy.

or 2 n 3 may be Amby or Cindy

Common is 2. so

so

cindy is second

then 1 is Linda

3 is Amby

1. Linda

2.

Cindy

3. Amby

lind= 1 or 2

amy= 2 or 3

cindy=1 or 2 or 3

check for the middle one (amy). if she is 2 then linda must have to be 1

but if you take amy as 3 then cindy =1 or 2 and linda=1 or 2.... which is not possible

so amy need to be 2 and hence linda is first
