The diagram from question 2 disproves A and B:
C and D both said the telephone must go early. So I made a scenario putting telephone as far back as I could. This scenario disproves both C and D:
E is CORRECT. We saw this in the setup. Water has to be earlier than gas and satellite.
The reason is that gas and satellite already take up 2/3 spaces in the back half. That means there’s only one space open after gas, at most.
Since landscaping goes after water (rule 1) that means we would need two open spaces to place water after gas.
This diagram shows water won’t fit.

I’m confused—why bother putting telephone in a different spot when we just proved it can only go in space one?

Why can P not be in slot 3?

Hi, I need a help. You have mentioned: The diagram from question 2 disproves A and B:
Do we have to consider the diagram from question 2 to solve questions 3,4,5, and 6?
I am confused. Do we have to just consider the main diagram and then solve each question by considering it unique or if we have another diagram from Question 2, should we consider that for the rest of the questions?
Also, is this the strategy to be followed for every question?

Yes, you can often use relevant diagrams and inferences from earlier questions to help you solve later questions. In this case, we could rule out answers A and B in question 3 because they were disproved by earlier work. There is one small caveat here, though: you should only use your work from earlier questions to solve later questions if you are very confident that work is correct. If you are unsure, don’t use that work (unless you’re running very low on time).
