Group Games Questions - - Question 9

If G and K are in group 3, which one of the following must be true?

Confusion?

If G and K must be in group 3 then does it not mean that T and H must be in group 1 since they cannot be in group 2? Moreover, if both T and H are in one then F and J would have to be in 2. In addition, Q/R/S can either be in 2 or 3 and Q/S can be in 1. I would suggest editing the video and adding these points, if possible. Thank you.

@muhammad-sharief,

Great points. You're right—T and H must be in 1, and F and J would
have to be in 2. These are all additional things that must be true in
this scenario. However, on questions like these, it's always best to
check the answer choices after each additional thing is figured out.

With G and K in 3, we know that T can't be with G in 3, nor can it be
in 2, so it must be in 1. Then upon checking our answers, we see that
(E) says T must be in 1 which is true.

It's important to note that these questions simply ask to choose an
answer that is something that must be true; this is different from
them asking us to choose an answer that shows all of which must be
true for the particular scenario.

The additional deductions you made are wonderful and it shows that you
are understanding this game really well. However, for this particular
question, the additional work to make those inferences is not
necessary for arriving at the correct answer. It's good that you saw
the extra inferences though because future questions you encounter may
be more difficult and will require second or third level inferences,
such as noting as you did that F and J must go in 2.
