Question 1

6 tasks (A, B, C, D, E, F) are to be completed one after the other. The following conditions must be met: - Task A must be performed immediately after Task C. - Task B must be completed before Task E. - Task F is neither the first nor the last task to be completed. - Task D is performed exactly 3 positions after Task B. Which task is scheduled in the fifth position?
Step-by-step solution (Deductive Logic):

1. Apply Consecutive Constraint: 'A immediately after C' -> (C, A)
2. Apply Before Constraint: 'B before E'
3. Apply Exclusion Constraint: 'F not first or last'
