LSAT 38, Logic Game 3, Question 17, LSATHacks

Since we’re placing variables in sales, we should figure out which rules apply to sales.

That’s the only rule specific to sales. Start with answer choices that involve X being in sales.

B is CORRECT. This isn’t possible. If X and G are in sales then H and Y are forced to go in P along with F. That fills up P. But X being in S means that W also has to go in P. There’s no room! 

E involves X, but the scenario works and so the answer isn’t right. H, Y and X are all in S. W has to go in P along with F. G must go in M to avoid F. That leaves I able to go in P, which works. 

A is fine. H and Y go in P. W goes in S and X goes in M (X has to go in M so that he doesn’t force W into P.)

C is fine because it means H, Y and G are all in S. That allows us to put X, W and I in either P and M. No rules apply to them when they’re in P or M.

D is fine because it means H, Y and W are in S. That leaves G to go in M (so it avoids F). X and I can go in P, as there are no rules that apply to them when they are in P.
