Moving on to Question 4 now, Any of the following pairs could be the third and fourth
0:13
digits respectively of an acceptable product code except?
0:17
Again, let's use our previous work here. First in Question 1, three and four are zero and
0:22
three. So based on that, I can eliminate (B), because again we're looking for what could
0:28
be true except; we're looking for what cannot be true. The answer choice (B) is clearly
0:32
shown by Question 1.
0:36
Looking at Question 3, our previous work, we see three, zero and one, zero so we can
0:44
eliminate (C) and (D). Again, those two coming directly from Question 3, which means we only
0:53
have to check zero and one and three and four.
1:00
You should notice that (A), zero and one, is clearly a possibility in option two here.
1:08
Again, three would be zero, four would be one, five would be three. I will draw that
1:15
out very quickly just so you can see it.
1:19
And you notice that does not violate any of our conditions. We only had each digit once.
1:26
The third digit is less than the fifth digit and the second digit is exactly twice that
1:30
of the first digit, which proves that (A) could be true as well, so (E) here would be
1:37
the correct answer.
1:39
Just to prove to you that (E) would be invalid if three and four were three and four respectively,
1:48
we would know that one and two would have to come first and second to satisfy our third
1:54
condition that the second digit has a value exactly twice that of its first digit but
1:59
what that does is it leaves only zero for the fifth spot which violates our fourth condition
2:06
that the third digit must be less than the fifth digit, so (E) is invalid and (E) would
2:11
be the correct answer.
2:12
Again, this was (A). Again, this was (E).
