Q7

Someone please help. The ambassador game makes little sense to me. Even when I plot out the graph I miss out on certain details that confuse me. And I don't have enough time to go back and try to correct it.

This is an Orientation question (each answer choice shows a complete scenario).

To approach these, we look at one rule at a time, and check to see whether the answers all obey that rule (typically, each rule is disobeyed by 1 answer choice).

Rule 1 is that either K or N, but not both, have to be among our three picked.

So any answer choice that has BOTH of them or any choice that has NEITHER of them can be eliminated. Get rid of (D) (it has both of them).

Rule 2 is that "IF we see J in the answer choice, we need to also see K."

So we'll check the remaining four answers, although we can only check for the rule if J is in an answer choice.

We can eliminate (A). It has J but not K.

Rule 3 says that if O is in V, then K can't be Y.

Let's check the remaining three answers to see if they have O in V.
(E) does, and it illegally puts K in Y. Eliminate (E).

Rule 4 says "if an answer choice has L, then L must be in Z".

Let's check (B) and (C) and see if either has L.
They both do, but in (C) we can see that L is illegally in group V, rather than Z. Eliminate (C).


The correct answer is (B).

Hope this helps.
