Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=15592)
The correct answer choice is (A)
The question asks you to identify the minimum number of machines purchased in 1987. To answer this question, you must optimize the setup in a way that avoids 1987 as much as possible. As only the machines in offices 3 and 4 have any possibility of a machine purchased in 1987, start with those two offices and attempt to avoid purchases in 1987. As shown in the hypothetical below, the computer in office 4, the printer in office 4, and the computer in office 3 can all be purchased in 1988, resulting in no machines purchased in 1987:
Accordingly, the correct answer is 0, answer choice (A).
