Question

If P is done first and S is done second, then T can be done in

• A. \(\text{third position, but in neither fourth nor fifth position}\)
• B. \(\text{fourth position, but in neither third nor fifth position}\)
• C. \(\text{fifth position, but in neither third nor fourth position}\)
• D. \(\text{either third or fourth position, but not in fifth position}\)
• E. \(\text{either third, fourth, or fifth position}\)

Hint:

Verify T placement with S 2nd.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Constraints: T not 4th unless S 2nd, M 1st needs S or R 5th, R 5th bans P 3rd,
P before T; P 1st, S 2nd.
Step 2: T 4th allowed since S 2nd, but T 3rd or 5th checked.
Step 3: T 4th works (e.g., PMSTR), T 3rd (PMT??) violates P before T, T 5th (PMST?)
needs M 1st rule check, invalid.
Step 4: (B) T 4th only fits.
