Four students A, B, C and D each prefer a different subject: Mathematics, Science, English and History. A does not prefer Mathematics or History. B prefers Science. C does not prefer English. D does not prefer Mathematics. Which subject does A prefer?
Hint
B already occupies Science.
Answer
A prefers English.
Explanation
A can only be assigned English because Mathematics and History are excluded and Science belongs to B.
Step-by-Step Solution
B = Science.
A ≠ Mathematics, History and Science.
Therefore A = English.
A ≠ Mathematics, History and Science.
Therefore A = English.
