Which is the drama to be staged first?
Show Hint
- None of these
- B
- D
- A
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Based on the analysis for the previous question, we have to determine the start of the schedule.
The constraints are:
- Cannot start with A (Clue 2).
- Must contain the consecutive pairs BD and AE. If the schedule starts with the AE pair, it violates Clue 2.
If the schedule starts with C, D, or E, it's difficult to fit the BD and AE pairs.
Let's try starting with B. If B is first, D must be second (from BD pair). Schedule: B, D, _, _, _, _.
This start is consistent with both valid schedules we found in the previous question.
Schedule 1: B, D, C, BREAK, A, E
Schedule 2: B, D, BREAK, C, A, E
In all possible valid arrangements, the first drama to be staged is B.
