Young and Slow

Logic Level 2

A to H are persons compared according to their age and speed at which they finish a certain job. A is older than B and faster than C. D is younger than E, older than C, and slower than F. G is older than H, younger than C, slower than H, and faster than F. H is older than A and slower than C. Which of the following is the most valid conclusion?

1) D is the eldest and slowest
2) G is older than E and slower than A
3) C is younger than D and faster than H
4) H is older than B and faster than A

Ordering A to H based on provided information, from oldest to youngest (left-to-right) :

E > D > C , C > G > H , H > A , A > B E > D > C, C > G > H, H > A, A > B

... and from highest speed to lowest (left-to-right) :

A > C , C > H , H > G > F , F > D A > C, C > H, H > G > F, F > D

This way we can clearly see that 3) is the only valid conclusion.

I'm not sure, but this is the way i did it. I tabulated every condition from A to H. Testing every condition, i figured C complied all.

Look at this 2 situations

D is younger than E, older than C,...

H is older than A and slower than C.

So the answer is C

Arranging respective ages from youngest to eldest: BAHGCDE being B as the youngest and E is the eldest.

Arranging respective speed from slowest to fastest: DFGHCA being D as the slowest and A as the fastest

Examining the ranking #3 satisfies the valid conclusion.

How did you arrange them?
