Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=3737)
The correct answer choice is (C)
If Center 2 recycles three kinds of material, the first rule would require Center 1 to recycle the
same three kinds of material as Center 2, as discussed earlier. We also know that N must be
among the materials recycled at any center that recycles three kinds of material:
If Centers 1 and 2 are identical to each other, and P is not recycled at Center 2, then P cannot be
recycled at Center 1 either. So, P must be recycled at Center 3 – validating answer choice (C).
Note that this inference is not a Mistaken Negation of the second rule. Rather, it results from the
fact that no center can recycle more than three kinds of material. So, if Center 2 recycles three
kinds, then Center 1 has no choice but to also recycle the same exact three kinds as Center 2.
