Which one of the following rangers CANNOT be assigned to area 3?
aseikhon11on September 4, 2020
Why K & not J?
area 1: J area 2: LP area 3: MKO
doesn't break any of the rules?
but if you put J in area 3 then it breaks rules?
area 1: K area 2: LP area 3: MJO
(J&K are split because O is not 2)
(L should be with M or K but isn't, so J cant be in area 3)
please explain

Answer choice (E) is incorrect because there is at least one possible scenario where J can be assigned to Area 3.
There is no rule saying that L cannot be assigned to Area 1, so let's make that switch in your diagram above.
Area 1: LK Area 2: P Area 3: MJO
Notice that this meets all of our conditions:
1) M is assigned to Area 3 2) Neither O (3) nor P (2) is assigned to Area 1. 3) L is assigned to the same area as K and not M 4) O is not assigned to Area 2 and J is assigned to a different Area than K.
Your first scenario breaks Rule 3 because L is not assigned to the same area as K or M.
If we put K in Area 3, then both K and M are assigned to Area 3. This violates Rule 3 either way. If we place L in Area 3, then they are assigned to the same Area as both K and M. If we place L in Area 1 or 2, they are not assigned with either K or M.
Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions.
