If all of the 19th century paintings are watercolors then we know that 2 is a watercolor.
We have to put an oil painting beside or below the oil painting in number 3. Since 2 is now a watercolor, 6 has to be O.
6 has to be 20th century, too. If 6 were 19th century it would have to be a water color, not an O.
So 6 is 20th century and it’s an oil painting. Painting 1 has to be 19th century so that painting 2 has another 19th century beside it.
3 is 20th century, otherwise it would be a watercolor. It looks like this:
A is can’t be true. Painting 1 has to be 19th century.
B can’t be true because painting 3 has to be oil. If it were 19th century it would be a watercolor.
C could be true but doesn’t have to be.
D could be true. But the 20th century paintings can also be watercolors, so this doesn’t have to be true.
E is CORRECT.
In this sort of question, focus on what has to be true. Make a deduction and then see if it’s the right answer.
