Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11493)
The correct answer choice is (C)
If 6 and 7 are both off, then there are only five switches remaining. All five cannot be on because then 1 and 3, 1 and 5, 2 and 4, and 2 and 5 would all be on together. Four switches cannot be on because switch 4 would be on, meaning 2 and 5 would both be off, and either 1 or 3 would also be off, for a total of five switches off (1/3, 2, 5, 6, and 7). Three switches on is possible: 2, 3, and 5. Thus the correct answer is (C).
