Q13

[GeneW]

Why is C a better answer than E? I am a bit puzzled. They both have JM. The only difference is F and G. Can someone please explain the difference.

Thank you in advance.

No problem. I got it. E violates one of the rules. Thank you.

I'm still confused about why C is the correct answer. I thought if F then Q so how can F be selected without Q? I might be confused about the general wording of the question.

This question is asking, "which of these answer choices contains three people who could be among the five selected?"

For (A), if we have FGJ all in, we also know that Q is in (Rule 3), K is in (Rule 4), M is in (Rule 5) and therefore P is out (Rule 6).

F G H K M Q | P _ _

This is broken because there are six people in.

--------------

For (B), if we have FGM all in, we also know that Q is in (Rule 3), K is in (Rule 4) and J is in (Rule 5) and P is out (Rule 6).

F G M K J Q | P _ _ _

Same problem as last time. 6 people IN.

---------------

For (C), if we have FJM all in, we know that Q is in (Rule 3) and P is out (Rule 6).

F J M Q __ | P __ __ __

This should work. We have three tenants so we need to pick our 5th person as a homeowner (from R and S). Either that person, R/S or Q would be chairperson. We should be good.

F J M Q R/S | P S/R G K

Correct Answer.


--------------

For (D), if we have GJK, then we also know we have M (rule 5) and thus don't have P (rule 6).

G J K M __ | P __ __ __

This is broken because it has four tenants, but we're only allowed a max of three.

-------------

For (E), if we have GJM in, then we know that K is in (rule 4) and P is out (rule 6).

G J M K __ | P __ __ __

This is broken just like (D), because it has FOUR tenants.

Hope this helps.
