Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=14920)
The correct answer choice is (B)
If M is on team 2, then from the third rule neither R nor S can be on team 2:
Accordingly, answer choices (D) and (E) can be eliminated.
Because R cannot be on team 2, via the contrapositive of the fourth rule it follows that J cannot be on team 1. Because M is on team 2 and J cannot be on team 1, it follows that F must be on team 1:
Accordingly, answer choice (A) can be eliminated.
Because F is on team 1, from the first rule S cannot be on team 1. Because S cannot be on team 1 or team 2, and is thus sidelined for this question, we can infer that every other researcher must be included on a team. Accordingly, since J cannot be on team 1, J must be on team 2 and answer choice (B) is proven correct.
