Respuesta :

Pam carried turkey on a black plate, Tom carried salad on a purple plate, Roger carried dressing on a pink plate, Donna carried peas on a white plate, and Ted carried potatoes on a green plate.

To determine the kind of food each person brought and what color plate it was on, the following reasoning must be performed:

- no food begins with the same letter as the name of the person who brought it  

  • Turkey = Roger, Pam or Donna
  • Salad = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Dressing = Roger, Ted, Tom or Pam
  • Peas = Roger, Ted, Tom or Donna
  • Potatoes = Roger, Ted, Tom or Donna  
  • Green plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Purple plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • White plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Black plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Pink plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna

- the dressing was not brought by Tom or Pam  

  • Turkey = Roger, Pam or Donna
  • Salad = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Dressing = Roger or Ted
  • Peas = Roger, Ted, Tom or Donna
  • Potatoes = Roger, Ted, Tom or Donna  
  • Green plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Purple plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • White plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Black plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Pink plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna

- the person who brought the potatoes and the person who brought the green plate both have names that begin with the same letter  

  • Turkey = Roger, Pam or Donna
  • Salad = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Dressing = Roger or Ted
  • Peas = Roger, Ted, Tom or Donna
  • Potatoes = Ted or Tom  
  • Green plate = Ted or Tom
  • Purple plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • White plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Black plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Pink plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna

- neither Roger's plate nor Ted's plate was purple and the peas were also not brought on the purple plate  

  • Turkey = Roger, Pam or Donna
  • Salad = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Dressing = Roger or Ted
  • Peas = Roger, Ted, Tom or Donna
  • Potatoes = Ted or Tom  
  • Green plate = Ted or Tom
  • Purple plate = Tom or Donna
  • White plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Black plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna

- Tom's food and the food on the pink plate are not peas or potatoes  

  • Turkey = Pam
  • Salad = Tom
  • Dressing = Roger
  • Peas = Donna
  • Potatoes = Ted  
  • Green plate = Ted or Tom
  • Purple plate = Tom or Donna
  • White plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna

  • Potatoes = Ted  
  • Green plate = Ted or Tom
  • Purple plate = Tom or Donna
  • White plate = Roger, Ted, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Black plate = Roger, Ted, Tom or Pam
  • Pink plate = Roger or Pam

- the person who brought the potatoes and the person who brought the green plate both have names that begin with the same letter  

  • Turkey = Pam
  • Salad = Tom
  • Dressing = Roger
  • Peas = Donna
  • Potatoes = Ted  
  • Green plate = Ted
  • Purple plate = Tom or Donna
  • White plate = Roger, Tom, Pam or Donna
  • Black plate = Roger, Tom or Pam
  • Pink plate = Roger or Pam

- neither Roger's plate nor Ted's plate was purple and the peas were also not brought on the purple plate  

  • Turkey = Pam
  • Salad = Tom
  • Dressing = Roger
  • Peas = Donna
  • Potatoes = Ted  
  • Green plate = Ted
  • Purple plate = Tom
  • White plate = Roger, Pam or Donna
