View Dynamic Solution & Explanation
Correct Solution: Option A

Step-by-step Solution:

If house \(C\) has a yellow roof then house \(D\) has red roof because house E has a green roof. Now the colour of chimney of \(D\) 's house has to be black because colour of chimney of \(C\) s house is white and roof of D's house is Red. Hence the house E has white colour chimney. \[\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline & A & B & C & D & E \\ \hline Roof & Green & Red & Green & Yellow & Green \\ \hline Chimney & White & Black & White & Blue & Red \\ \hline \end{array}\]\[\]Choice (A)\[\]
