Problem

Tiles $I, II, III$ and $IV$ are translated so one tile coincides with each of the rectangles $A, B, C$ and $D$. In the final arrangement, the two numbers on any side common to two adjacent tiles must be the same. Which of the tiles is translated to Rectangle $C$?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ I \qquad \mathrm{(B)}\ II \qquad \mathrm{(C)}\ III \qquad \mathrm{(D)}\ IV \qquad \mathrm{(E)}$ cannot be determined

Solution

We first notice that tile III has a $0$ on the bottom and a $5$ on the right side. Since no other tile has a $0$ or a $5$, Tile III must be in rectangle $D$. Tile III also has a $1$ on the left, so Tile IV must be in Rectangle $C$.

The answer is $\boxed{D}$
