  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 3

  4. 4


Correct Option: D

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we can use the given information to determine the positions of the swimmers. Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) 1 - This option is incorrect because the question states that F is ahead of D, which means there is at least one swimmer (D) between A and F.

Option B) 2 - This option is incorrect because the question states that A is behind D and E, and F is ahead of D. Therefore, there are three swimmers (D, E, and F) between A and F.

Option C) 3 - This option is incorrect because the question states that A is behind D and E, and F is ahead of D. Therefore, there are three swimmers (D, E, and F) between A and F.

Option D) 4 - This option is correct because the question states that A is behind D and E, and F is ahead of D. Therefore, there are four swimmers (D, E, F, and one other swimmer) between A and F.

The correct answer is D. There are four swimmers that separate A and F.

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 3

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

To solve this question, the user needs to analyze the given information about the race and the outcome to determine the position of each swimmer. Then, the user needs to evaluate the impact of disqualifying swimmer D on the position of swimmer B.

Let's analyze the given information:

  • B does not win, so B finished either 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th.
  • Only two swimmers separate E & D. This means that E and D finished in the top 4 positions, with at most 2 swimmers between them.
  • A is behind D & E. This means that A finished in the last 2 positions, with D and E ahead of A.
  • B is ahead of E, with one swimmer intervening. This means that B finished either 1st or 2nd, with one swimmer between B and E.
  • F is ahead of D. This means that F finished in the top 4 positions, with D behind F.

Now, let's evaluate the impact of disqualifying swimmer D on the position of swimmer B. If D is disqualified, then the number of swimmers between B and the finish line decreases by 1. Since only one swimmer is between B and E, and F is ahead of D, swimmer B must have finished in the second position.

Therefore, the answer is:

The Answer is: B. 2.
