Question

A, B and C are three films that are screened by three theatres PVR, DT and Regal in three consecutive slots. No film should be screened in the same slot by any two theaters. If DT screens film B in the first slot and PVR exhibits film C in the third slot, then which of these must be TRUE?

Accepted Answer

C. Given: - DT screens B in slot 1. - PVR screens C in slot 3. Since no film is screened in the same slot by two theatres: - In slot 1: DT screens B. Regal and PVR cannot screen B in slot 1. - In slot 3: PVR screens C. DT and Regal cannot screen C in slot 3. - Therefore, in slot 2, PVR must screen A or B (PVR screens C in slot 3). Since DT screens B in slot 1, PVR screens B in slot 1 or 2. If DT screens B in slot 1, PVR cannot screen B in slot 1. - Only Regal can exhibit the remaining film A in the remaining slot, i.e., slot 2.
