Question

Five persons A, G, K, L, and S purchase some items one after the other. Two persons bought between A and the one who bought Chair. G purchased immediately before K but none of them bought Chair. Three persons bought between the one who purchased Chair and the one who purchased Table. Only two persons bought between the one who purchased Wallet and the one who purchased Table. Bag is purchased immediately before Perfume. Only two persons bought between L and the one who purchased Perfume. K does not buy Wallet.

Who among the following purchased Table?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Persons: A, G, K, L, S
2. Items: Chair, Wallet, Bag, Perfume, Table

Given clues:
- Two persons between A and Chair buyer.
- G immediately before K; neither bought Chair.
- Three persons between Chair and Table buyers.
- Two persons between Wallet and Table buyers.
- Bag immediately before Perfume.
- Two persons between L and Perfume buyer.
- K does not buy Wallet.

Step-by-step reasoning:

1. Since there are 5 persons, the positions can be numbered 1 to 5 in order of purchase.

2. G immediately before K means G and K are consecutive with G before K. Possible pairs: (1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5).

3. Chair and A have two persons between them. So their positions differ by 3.

4. Three persons between Chair and Table means their positions differ by 4.

5. Two persons between Wallet and Table means their positions differ by 3.

6. Bag immediately before Perfume means Bag and Perfume are consecutive with Bag before Perfume.

7. Two persons between L and Perfume buyer means their positions differ by 3.

8. K does not buy Wallet.

Try to assign positions:

- Let’s try G=2, K=3 (since G immediately before K).

- Chair and A differ by 3 positions.

- Chair and Table differ by 4 positions.

- Wallet and Table differ by 3 positions.

- Bag immediately before Perfume.

- Two persons between L and Perfume.

Try to place Chair:

- If Chair is at position 1, then A is at position 4 (difference 3).

- Chair at 1 and Table at 5 (difference 4) fits.

- Wallet and Table differ by 3, so Wallet at position 2 (since Table at 5).

- G=2, so G buys Wallet.

- K=3, K does not buy Wallet, so K buys something else.

- Bag immediately before Perfume, so possible pairs are (3,4) or (4,5).

- Since Table is at 5, Bag and Perfume cannot be at 4 and 5.

- So Bag and Perfume at 3 and 4.

- K=3, so K buys Bag.

- Perfume at 4, so A=4 (from above) must be Perfume.

- L and Perfume differ by 3 positions, so L at 1 or 7 (not possible), so L=1.

- S is remaining at position 5.

- S buys Table.

- G=2 buys Wallet.

- K=3 buys Bag.

- A=4 buys Perfume.

- L=1 buys Chair.

Final arrangement:

| Position | Person | Item    |
|----------|--------|---------|
| 1        | L      | Chair   |
| 2        | G      | Wallet  |
| 3        | K      | Bag     |
| 4        | A      | Perfume |
| 5        | S      | Table   |

**Answer:** S purchased Table.
