Hi Amrira,
This one is much easier than the first one:
Abou 3ajaj told me that the answer is defiantly C on both question
1- C (D E G)
2- C (5) and the riders are only A B D E F.
Where can I get my present? My I exchange or get money instead it if I didn't like it?

Happy Independence Day to SYRIA! April 17

Thanks all for your participation. Most of you agree on the first question and different answers provided for the second one!

Abou 3ajaj said...

PLEASE AMIRA STOP TAKING SIDES.

The answer is C C, Abou 3ajaj is never wrong!

The more Falafel Abou 3ajaj prepare, the more intelligent he gets!!

Please Jihad stay away from the Falafel guy.

1- E
2- B ( E and G can't take the bus 1 on the same day B does but they can take bus 2 ) so we already have 3 riders. When A and F take the same bus, it is always bus 3 so they can't both ride bus 2 and only one of them can go with bus 2. So we have 4 riders on the bus now :
E, G , B , and either A or F

Sorry forgot to mentione that the same riders can go on the bus 2 with rider D instead of G but that doesn't change the answer. It is still 4 riders :

E, either D or G, B, either A or F

I believe Nagham got it right
E
B
Next week I'll buy her some falafel just before the contest day.

Amira said...

Bravo Nagham, great analysis.

You win the title of “Member of the Week”. I was worried that men might dominate the title but not any more.

Thanks Nagham.

Answers & Analytical Reasoning:

First question: (E) is the correct answer. As per the first condition; when B rides bus 1 then G cannot ride it. All other groups can take bus 1 to work on the same day.

Second question: (B) is the correct answer. Only four riders can ride bus 2 on the same day B, E, (F or A), (D or G).
C always takes bus 3, either A or F can ride bus 2, D and G cannot ride bus 2 at the same time.
