Who is the CEO?
Alice
Bert
Cheryl
(Correct Answer)David
Cheryl
Given:
Executives: CEO, President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer.
Car Colors: Yellow, Green, Purple, Red, and Blue.
Names: Alice, Bert, Cheryl, David, and Enid.
Step-by-Step Analysis:
Step 1: Identify the CEO's Position and Car
According to the designation order, the CEO is top level and occupies the first parking space. The car in the first space is Red.
Step 2: Determine Name Placement from Clues
David is at the last place (5th space).
Alice is parked next to David, which means Alice is in the 4th space.
Bert's car is not in the first space.
Enid drives the Green car (3rd space).
Bert's car is between Cheryl's and Enid's. Since Enid is 3rd, the only way Bert can be "between" two people is if he is 2nd.
This leaves the 1st space (CEO) for Cheryl.
Final Mapping:
| Space | Designation | Car Color | Name |
| 1 | CEO | Red | Cheryl |
| 2 | President | Blue | Bert |
| 3 | Vice-President | Green | Enid |
| 4 | Secretary | Yellow | Alice |
| 5 | Treasurer | Purple | David |
Conclusion:
Hence, Cheryl is the CEO.
