We refer to configuration 4 and 6 where M can be on floor 1. It can seen from configuration 4 that L is on floor 3, and from configuration 6 that L is on floor 4. Thus Choice C is correct.

6. • Floor 6: N
   • Floor 5: None
   • Floor 4: L
   • Floor 3: None
   • Floor 2: (M) O
   • Floor 1: (O) M

The only configuration that applies in configuration 6. Thus , L must be on floor 4

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

1. • Floor 6: None
   • Floor 5:(M) O
   • Floor 4:(O) M
   • Floor 3: N
   • Floor 2: None
   • Floor 1: L
2. • Floor 6: (M) O
   • Floor 5:(O) M
   • Floor 4: None
   • Floor 3: N
   • Floor 2: None
   • Floor 1: L
3. • Floor 6: (M) O
   • Floor 5:(O) M
   • Floor 4: N
   • Floor 3: None
   • Floor 2: L
   • Floor 1: None
4. • Floor 6: None
   • Floor 5: N
   • Floor 4: None

   • Floor 2: (O) M
   • Floor 1: None
6. • Floor 6: N
   • Floor 5: None
   • Floor 4: L
   • Floor 3: None
   • Floor 2: (M) O
   • Floor 1: (O) M

Since M and O are always next to each other, Statement 1 is false. Since L is two floors below N, Statement 2 must be true. It can be seen from the configurations that statement 3 is false. Thus Choice C is correct.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The availability of the employees may be summarized by the table:

• Monday: Farooq,Aktar,Rafiq,Shabbir*
• Tuesday:Nauman,Farooq,Aktar,Shabbir
• Wednesday:Nauman,Farooq,Rafiq,Shabbir*
• Thursday:Farooq,Aktar,Shabbir
• Friday:Aktar,Rafiq,Shabbir

*Note available on the third Monday and the third Wednesday of the month

It is clear from the table that Rafiq, Nauman, and Farooq are available on any Wednesday. Shabbir is not available on the third Wednesday of the month.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

The availability of the employees may be summarized by the table:

• Monday: Farooq,Aktar,Rafiq,Shabbir*
• Tuesday:Nauman,Farooq,Aktar,Shabbir
• Wednesday:Nauman,Farooq,Rafiq,Shabbir*
• Thursday:Farooq,Aktar,Shabbir
• Friday:Aktar,Rafiq,Shabbir

*Note available on the third Monday and the third Wednesday of the month

More than the minimum number of employees is available on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. However Shabbir is not always available on Monday and Wednesday. Therefore, Tuesday is the only day on which they are always available
