a) S gets launched sometime before T.
b) T gets launched sometime before W.
c) W gets launched sometime before V.
d) Y gets launched sometime before Q.
e) Z gets launched sometime before W.
Answer »Answer: (e)
Clearly, R must be launched before each one of T, V, S, W, Y, and Q.

Question : 2
If Q is the fifth product to be launched, then each of the following could be true except.
a) Z is the first product to be launched.
b) T is the second product to be launched.
c) V is the third product to be launched.
d) W is the fourth product to be launched.
e) Y is the sixth product to be launched.
Answer »Answer: (d)
Q must have V and Z before it and V must have R and T before it. Thus, if Q is the fifth product, we shall have V, Z, R, and T at the four places before it.
Clearly, W cannot be in fourth place.
Question : 3
If Z is the seventh product to be launched, then which one of the following could be true?
a) W is the fifth product to be launched.
b) T is the fourth product to be launched.
c) R is the second product to be launched.
d) V is the sixth product to be launched.
e) Y is the eighth product to be launched.
Answer »Answer: (a)
If Z is the seventh product, then Q has to be launched in eighth place and so (e) does not hold. Clearly, V has to have each one of Y, Q, S, and the Z at the seventh place after it. So, (d) does not hold. R can have the only Z before it.
But Z is at the seventh place. So, R shall be first. Thus (c) does not hold. T must have each one of V, S, Y, Q, and Z after it. So, (b) does not hold. If Z is the seventh product, we may have the sequence R, T, V, S, W, Y, Z, Q, which satisfies all conditions.
Hence, (a) holds.
