Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11277)
The correct answer choice is (B)
Answer choice (A): This answer choice is incorrect because it leads to a violation of the RF not-block: regardless of how you place the two R sides, one will always be on a tape numbered one lower than a tape with F on it.
Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer choice.
Answer choice (C): This is a tricky answer. From our diagram, we know that Tape 1 must have J and then the dual-option of J or F. If the placement of music in this answer choice is implemented, however, then there will be no available genre to fulfill the dual-option (The remaining J is assigned to Tape 4, and both F’s are assigned to Tape 3).
Answer choice (D): This is also a tricky answer, and one that trades on the same principle as answer choice (C). From our diagram, we know that Tape 1 must have J and then the dual-option of J or F. If the placement of music in this answer choice is implemented, however, then there will be no available genre to fulfill the dual-option (The remaining J is assigned to Tape 3, and both F’s are assigned to Tape 4).
Answer choice (E): This answer choice is incorrect because it violates the third rule.
