What is the correct logic clue code?

• A. Gold = 1; Pick-axe = 4; TNT = 3; Mine Cart = 2
• B. Gold = 1; Pick-axe = 2; TNT = 3; Mine Cart = 4
• C. Gold = 2; Pick-axe = 4; TNT = 1; Mine Cart = 3
• D. Gold = 3; Pick-axe = 1; TNT = 2; Mine Cart = 4

Answer: (A)

This item tests applying a simple ranking where each of the four items must occupy a unique position from 1 to 4, with clues that force an increasing order among them. The clues require Gold to come first, then Mine Cart, then TNT, and finally the Pick-axe. In other words, Gold < Mine Cart < TNT < Pick-axe. The arrangement that places Gold at 1, Mine Cart at 2, TNT at 3, and Pick-axe at 4 satisfies this entire chain, so it fits all the clues consistently. Any other assignment would violate the required order—for example, put the Pick-axe before TNT or Gold after Mine Cart—so those options don’t work.
