Williams High School is closing and its best teachers may be transferred to either to two other schools. Allendale Academy and Fleetwood High. The transferable teachers are four women (Ms. Flint, Ms. James, Ms. Chang, and Ms. Heckels) and four men (Mr. Barson, Mr. Davis, Mr. Gardia, and Mr. Peters). At least seven of the eight teachers must be placed in a new school. Ms. James and Mr. Peters work as partners and must be assigned to the same school. Mr. Barson and Mr. Davis are both drama teachers; neither of the new school needs more than one drama teacher. Mr. Barson and Ms. Flint5 are married and must be placed in the same school. Each of the school must receive at least one new teacher.

Suppose we know that Mr. Davis is transferred to one of the two schools, and that only Mr. Barson and one other teacher are assigned to Allendale. Which of the following must be transferred to Fleetwood?


And for this question, we may create a chart
Allendale Fleetwood
B_ _ _ _ _ (_)D
Since F must go with B, and since D must be stored, we have:
Allendale Fleetwood
BF D_ _ _ _ _ (_)
Since J and P go together and neither of them going to Fleetwood woukd man
less than seven transfers, we have:
Allendale Fleetwood

BF DJP _ _ (_).
The correct answer is (B)

122)

Which of the following could be the entire list of teachers assigned to Allendale?
 


Since Ms. James and Mr. Peters must be assigned together, (B), (C) and (E) are impossible, Since choice (A) does not assign Mr. Barson and Ms, Flint to the same school, the only valid choice is (D). The answer is (D).

123)

If the only male teacher assigned to Allendale is Mr. Davis, which of the following must be true?



From the conditions, we can make the following notes:
JP         BD         BF
At least 7 transferred Each school gets at least 1
For this question we may set up a chart, showing that Mr. Davis goes to Allendale:
Allendale          Fleetwood D
Since Mr. Davis is the only male teacher assigned to Allendale, the male teachers who must be 
assigned in pairs must all go to Fleetwood (since seven teachers must be assigned, neither of the 
pairs may be let out);
Allendale       Fleetwood
    D                   J, P, B, F
Thus at least three of the male teachers are assigned: Mr. Davis, Mr. Peters and
Mr. Barson. The correct answer is (B).

If Fred is scheduled o Tuesday at 3 p.m., which of the following statement  must be true?



If Fred is scheduled for Tuesday at 3p.m. this gives us:
BE
SUN  MON  TUES
F
F 3p.m.
A 4p.m.
Since B will be taking one of the Sunday lessons, C and D must both be scheduled on Monday.
  BE                            SUN   MON   TUES
F 3p.m.              C/D       F
A 4p.m.              C/D
That puts E in the Tuesday at the 4p.m. slot
  SUN     MON    TUES
F 3p.m.                    C/D           F
A 4p.m.                    C/D           F
This now means that A must be on Sunday at 4p.m., and must be on Sunday at
3p.m. The correct answer is (E).

If Elizabeth lesson is at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, who must be scheduled for 4 p.m. on the same day?



From the question, we get
 BE                                  SUN   MON   TUES
E

 

F3p.m.

A4p.m.

 

 

 


CD on the same day
Therefore C and D must have their lessons on Monday as this is the only day open for two lessons. 
(Remember, B is taking one of the Sunday lessons). Since F can only have a 3.p.m. lesson, this 
leaves A for the Tuesday 4.p.m. lesson.
  BE                                SUN      MON   TUES

3p.m.                   F          C/D       E
4p.m.                   B           C/D       A
So Adam is the only one who can be scheduled for 4p.m. on Tuesday. The
correct answer is (A).
