This question says one family owned the granary and the inn. You should ask: who can do that. The Yandells can’t, because they can only have one building.
So it’s got to be the Trents or the Williamses. Let’s try the Trents:
This doesn’t work: it violates rule 3. Either the Trents need the stable, or the Yandells need the inn. Here the Trents have the inn.
(The Trents can’t take the stable because the Yandells need one building, and the Williamses need two. There are only three buildings remaining.)
So the Williamses need to take the granary and the inn. Note that the Williamses now can’t have the forge (rule 2):
Next, apply the remaining rules. The Yandells don’t have the inn, so the Trents need the stable (rule 3):
The forge and the mill are left. The Yandells take one, and the other building can go with either the Trents or the Williamses. As long as you don’t place the forge with the Williamses (rule 2).
You can use the diagram above to eliminate answers. It disproves A, C, D and E.
B is CORRECT.
