Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
Paintings: T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z
To be chosen: 5
Condition:
- If T is chosen, X cannot be chosen ⇒ T – X not together
- If U is chosen, Y must also be chosen ⇒ U – Y together
- If V is chosen, X must also be chosen ⇒ V – X together
Given: 2nd painting was originally chosen:
- T replaces V ⇒ If V was chosen then X must be there which makes it invalid for T to be a replacement w/o violating any condition.
- U replaces Y ⇒ U and Y have to be together ⇒ This violates 2nd condition.
- V replaces X ⇒ V and X have to be together ⇒ This violates 3rd condition
- W replaces Y ⇒ U and Y have to be together ⇒ This violates 2nd condition.
- Z replaces W ⇒ There is no condition regarding painting Z and W. So, this doesn’t violate any condition.
Hence Z replaces W is the answer.
