Confused on answer

The answer to this question is C Lalitha is scheduled for the 4th performance; however, it explicitly states in the parameters the following: Lalitha performs third only if Norton performs 5th. I am sure I am missing something - can you please advise? Thank you

Ah, "Only if" designates a Necessary - never mind .... :)

@LAF7, that's correctâ€”"only if" always introduces a necessary condition. Let us know if you have any other questions!
