1 An electrical circuit wiring a set of four lights depends on a system of switches A, B, C and D.

Each switch when working

has the following effects on the lights:

Switch A turns lights 1 and 2 on/off or off/on

Switch B turns lights 2 and 4 on/off or off/on

Switch C turns lights 1 and 3 on/off or off/on

Switch D turns lights 3 and 4 on/off or off/on

In the following, switches CBDA are thrown in turn, with the result that Figure 1 is transformed into Figure 2. One of the
switches is therefore not working and has had no effect on the numbered lights.

Identify which one of the switches is not working.
