Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Blue and pink
Concept: Matrix Deduction Puzzles.

Formula: N/A

Solution:

  • Z wears Khaki pants. Y does not wear blue pants, so Y wears Grey pants. Thus, X wears Blue pants.


  • Since X wears Blue pants, X cannot wear a Blue shirt (same color rule). X also did not wear White shirt (clue i). Therefore, X wears a Pink shirt.


X's outfit = Blue pants and Pink shirt.

Why other options are incorrect:

Option B: Assigns khaki pants to X (which belong to Z).
