If the first and second beads are purple and yellow, then the third must be red.
There’s no obvious deduction that comes from that rule. So you should think of what rules apply to P, Y and R.
My first thought was that there might be something involving yellow and purple. So I looked for an answer choice that had those options. E says yellow and purple. Here’s what happens if we try to put them in slots 5 and 6.
We have to put a red in slot 4 because yellow and purple need to be preceded by red. That puts two reds together, which can’t be true. E is CORRECT.
All of the other answers could be true. They don’t place anything directly next to PYR. They all help us achieve all five colors and also none of them directly violate any rules.
It’s extremely important to think about the answer choices before trying them. This could have been a very long question. The worst thing to do is to get caught staring blankly at a bunch of choices, without a plan for what to do next.
