This question places R and V before T. This new restriction makes T quite difficult to place. Consider the other variables in the game:
- R_V (reversible)
- S
- WZ
And consider how many variables have to go before T:
- R_V (reversible): because of this new rule
- S: because rule 1 says S must be third or fourth.
Let’s try to place R_V and T as early as we can. R_V as a block take up three spaces, so S is fourth. That means T is fifth at the earliest. That’s quite restricted!
Now, looking back a the list of variables, who can go after T, if T is 5th? …..nobody. Only WZ are left, but they need two spaces.
So actually, T must go 6th. We can add this to our setup diagram:
The first option doesn’t work, because we have the two blocs of two. That forces WZ in one bloc, and RV in another. That violates rule 3.
So, A is CORRECT. S must be fourth.
In case you were curious, these are the ways it can be this question can be arranged. R/V are reversible in both cases:
