In a small institute, parking spaces are reserved for the heads of the departments of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry,
Languages and Physical Education, with the spaces lined up in that order. The parking attendant can tell at a glance if the
cars are parked correctly by looking at the color of the cars which are either yellow, green, purple, red, or blue. The
department heads are Lilibeth, Dante, Aileen, Jonathan and Melchor.

- the car in the first space is red

- a blue car is parked between the red car and the green car

Red blue green


- the car in the last space is purple

- the secretary drives a yellow car

- Lilibeth's car is parked next to Jonathan's

- Melchor drives a green car

- Dante's car is parked between Aileen's and Merchor's cars

-Jonathan's car is parked in the last space

In Metro Manila, five cities were identified to be most flood-prone areas, namely Caloocan, Marikina, Navotas, Valenzuela
and Manila. Having their locations in coastal areas, PAGASA has identified them as key floodgates, Gate 1, Gate 2, Gate
3, Gate 4, and Gate 5. This year, the recorded average volume of flood are 12 inches, 27 inches, 32 inches, 44 inches
and 65 inches.

- The city at Gate 4 got the least floods; the city in Gate 2 has the most floods

- Navotas is in Gate 1

- Caloocan got more floods than Valenzuela

- Marikina got more flood than Manila, but lesser than Navotas

-Valenzuela recorded an average of 44 inches flood

- The city in Gate 1 got 32 inches of floods, the city in Gate 3 got 27 inches of flood.

4= 12inches, 2=65, 1=N

How much flood is recorded in Marikina?

65 inches

12 inches

44 inches

27 inches

He is one of the early mathematicians whose life testimony proved that computational skills are not required to grow and
contribute to the mathematical field. He used abstraction, rather than explicit computations to prove and establish
essential mathematical theories that led to breakthrough discoveries in both applied mathematics and the sciences. His
major influence in modern mathematics is the axiomatic treatment of geometry.
