Comprehension
Read the information carefully and answer the questions below.
At a small company, parking spaces are reserved for the top executives: CEO, president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer-with the spaces lined up in that order. The parking lot guard can tell at a glance if the cars are parked correctly by looking at the colour of the cars. The cars are yellow, green, purple, red, and blue, and the executives' names are Ajay, Bipin, Chetan, Damodar, and Erik.
The car in the first space is red.
A blue car is parked between the red car and the green car.
The car in the last space is purple.
The secretary drives a yellow car.
Ajay's car is parked next to Damodar's.
Erik drives a green car.
Bipin's car is parked between Chetan's and Erik's.
Damodar's car is parked in the last space.
Question: 1

What colour is the vice president's car?

Show Hint

In linear logic puzzles, always draw five boxes and label them with the fixed roles (CEO to Treasurer) first. Filling in the "definite" clues (like Space 1 and Space 5) creates the boundaries that make "between" clues much easier to solve!

Question: 3

Who is the secretary?

Show Hint

When a single logic puzzle has multiple follow-up questions, creating a summary table like the one above is the most efficient way to ensure accuracy. It prevents you from having to re-solve the logic for every individual question.
