Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?f=237&p=88987)
The correct answer choice is (A)
If H does not sit next to G, and from the second rule H does not sit next to F, then H can only be seated midway between F and G:
Whichever side H is on, K will be on the opposite side (from the second rule), along with the OI block (the OI block cannot be on the H side as there is insufficient room). With K, O, and I on one side, the H side must also include M and P, with H between M and P.
Because P will never be next M, P cannot be listed among the pair of variables that are both next to M. Thus, you can immediately eliminate answer choices (B), (D), and (E).
With only (A) and (C) remaining, examine just one answer. If it is possible, choose this answer. If it is not, choose the other answer. Let us examine (A). Reading counterclockwise from F, the diagram would be F M H P G and (OI, K) in some order. This is possible, so answer choice (A) is correct. Answer choice (C) cannot occur because K and M are on opposite sides of the table.
