#16 - Global, Could Be True

[Dave Killoran]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=1025)

The correct answer choice is (A).

Answer choice (B) can be eliminated since there are already 2 Tudor houses.

Answer choice (C) can be eliminated because having exactly two Tudor houses would leave just houses 5 and 8 as T. While house 1 could be S instead of T, if house 4 is R instead of T, then house 2 could only be S, which be a violation of the second rule since house 1 is already S. Literally, having exactly two Tudor houses does not leave enough options for the remaining open spaces.

Answer choices (D) and (E) can be eliminated since there can only be 3 Ranch houses maximum. House 3 is already an R, and house 7 can easily be an R as well. Between houses 2 and 4, a maximum of one can be R (remembered the first rule!), and so the maximum number of ranch houses is 3.

Thus, answer choice (A) is correct.

Hey Khana,

Thanks for the message. Here's a hypothetical that shows how (A) can be true:

T R T S
1 3 5 7


S T S T
2 4 6 8

Please let me know if that helps. Thanks!
