Linear Order Logic Puzzle – UGC NET Question

The conditions state that A must come before B and B must come before C. This implies a strict ordering: A first, B second, C third. Any schedule that violates either of these precedence constraints is unacceptable. Among the options, only the sequence A, B, C respects both requirements, placing A before B and B before C.

Option A:
Option A puts C before B, contradicting the condition that B must be before C.

Option B:
Option B puts B before A, violating the requirement that A must be before B.

Option C:
Option C satisfies A < B and B < C simultaneously and thus fully respects the given conditions. Option D: Option D reverses the required order entirely and fails both constraints.
