Question

In a group, there are six girls P, Q, R, S, T and U. Each of them drives one car among C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 and C6. None of them drives the same car. P doesn’t drive an even-numbered car. S drives C4. Car C5 is driven by either R or U. Q drives C1. Car C2 is not driven by T. Which cars are driven by P and T respectively?

The correct answer is

C3, C6

Solving the Girls and Cars Logic Puzzle

This puzzle involves matching six girls to six different cars based on a set of clues. We need to figure out which car each girl drives to determine the cars driven by P and T.

Analyzing the Clues

Let's list the girls and cars:

  • Girls: P, Q, R, S, T, U
  • Cars: C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6

We are given the following specific clues:

  • P doesn’t drive an even-numbered car (C2, C4, C6).
  • S drives C4.
  • Car C5 is driven by either R or U.
  • Q drives C1.
  • Car C2 is not driven by T.

Step-by-Step Deduction

Let's use the confirmed assignments and constraints to deduce the others.

Step 1: Apply direct assignments.

  • S drives C4.
  • Q drives C1.

Currently assigned:

GirlCar
QC1
SC4

Step 2: Use constraints for P.

  • P doesn’t drive an even-numbered car (C2, C4, C6).
  • Cars C1 and C4 are already assigned to Q and S, respectively.
  • The odd-numbered cars are C1, C3, C5.
  • P cannot drive C1 (driven by Q).
  • P cannot drive C5 (driven by R or U).
  • This leaves C3 as the only possible odd-numbered car for P that is not already assigned or restricted.
  • Therefore, P must drive C3.

Currently assigned:

GirlCar
PC3
QC1
SC4

Step 3: Determine the remaining possibilities.

  • Girls remaining: R, T, U
  • Cars remaining: C2, C5, C6

Step 4: Use the constraints for T.

  • Car C2 is not driven by T.
  • T must drive one of the remaining cars: C2, C5, C6.
  • T cannot drive C2.
  • Car C5 is driven by R or U. This means T cannot drive C5 (as T is a different girl from R and U).
  • The only remaining car T can drive is C6.
  • Therefore, T must drive C6.

Step 5: Final assignments (for P and T).

From our deductions:

  • P drives C3.
  • T drives C6.

The question asks for the cars driven by P and T respectively.

Conclusion

Based on the clues and logical deduction, P drives C3 and T drives C6.
