Question

Three cats and three dogs, A, B, C, D, E, and F, live on a street in three different-coloured houses. Each house hosts one cat and one dog. One house is red. A is a cat and does not live in the red house. B is a dog and does not live in the same house as C (even though they could). D lives in the blue house. D does not live with A or F (even though it could). E does not live with A and does not live in the yellow house.


Indicate whether each letter correspond to a cat or a dog, and match each cat and each dog with a colored house.

Answer 1

Answer:

1) A is a cat; B is a dog; C is a cat; D is a dog; E is a dog; F is a cat

2) A lives with B in a yellow house; C lives with D in a blue house; E lives with F in a red house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: First we identify the animals as cats or dogs

A is a cat

B is a Dog

Since B can live with C, C is a cat

Since D can live with A, D is a dog

F is a cat since it can live with D

E is therefore, a dog

Step 2: We then identify the house each two animals live in pairs of a cat and a dog

D lives in a blue house

A lives in a yellow house since it does not live with D or in a red house

C lives with D in a blue house since D does not live with either A or F

E lives in a red house since it does not live with A or in a yellow house

F lives with E in a red house since E does not live with A

Therefore, B lives with A in a yellow house
