Which of the following pencils is kept in box Z?
To determine which pencils are kept in box Z, we need to follow the conditions provided in the question step-by-step:
- Pencils D and B cannot be kept together.
- Pencils A and F must be kept together.
- Pencil D and pencil A cannot be kept in box Z.
- Pencils E and C cannot be kept together.
- Pencil E cannot be kept in box Y.
Let's analyze these conditions to find out which pencils go into which box:
- Since A and F must be together and D and A cannot be in Z, A and F must be in box Y. Let's put A and F in box Y.
Box Y: A, F
- According to condition 3, D cannot be in Z along with A, so D must also be in box Y.
Box Y: A, F, D
- Since D and B cannot be together, B must be in box Z.
Box Z: B
- E cannot be with C, and E cannot be in box Y. Therefore, E must be in box Z.
Box Z: B, E
- Now, C cannot be with E, so C must be in box Y.
Box Y: A, F, D, C
- We have placed A, F, D, and C in box Y, and B and E in box Z.
We can conclude from the above analysis that pencil B is indeed correctly placed in box Z. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
