is the answer wrong?
I thought option B is enough since you can already tell from it that it is impossible to allocate 2 hours for U and T for the meeting |

I agree I think B should be the correct answer. |

Okay you have to in precise order for these questions
a) tells you 2 of the 4 could meet so it does not answer the questions about all 4 (so you can eliminate a, d)
b) tells you 1 person has 1 hour free and the other person has a different 2 hour opening for a meeting but because it does not reference the other two people it cannot answer the questions (eliminate b)
Now if you combine both A&B you see it answers the question: "can the 4 commuters meet for a meeting on Friday for 2 hours"
So, C is your answer.

Can someone please provide justification for the answer (option C). I think it should be option B since it is clearly evident that a 2-hr common window for all 4 commissioners is not available on Friday.

Option should be ;B
Statement B itself satisfies that between T & U meeting is possible between 11 to 12 which is 1 hr but meeting is needed to be scheduled for 2 hr so there is no need to check statement 1 coz meeting cannot be scheduled. |

I think E is the right answer. The commissioners don't have two hours time. |

| Student: 11/16/2010 1:48:26 PM |

b, as meeting has to be amongst 4 ppl.. and two of them cannot meet simultaneously for two hours.. so is clear...
statement 2 is sufficient.. |

C is the answer

|
| Student: 2/1/2011 2:15:47 PM |
|
answer is C
because option 2 tells us only 1 hr i.e 11 to 12 but we need two hrs and option c tells us free hr as afetr 12 so the meeting cannot be scheduled |

|
|

| Student: 4/24/2011 6:12:55 PM |

Answer should be C.
Question asks if all the 4 commissioners have time.
So have to look at statement A and B both. |

Is there a 2-hour period on Friday that is open for all four commissioners?
Yes. All the four have a 2 hr open period, each but does not match with open perios of one anothers.
A alone cannot answer and not enough.
B alone cannot answer and not enough.
But if we compare A & B, we can say that all the four have atleast 2 hrs of open period, but then they dont have a common 2 hrs open period. But this definitely answer the question-"Is there a 2-hour period on Friday that is open for all four commissioners?" and the answer is No.
So the answer for this is C. |

Yea, definitely should be B. If you already know that T and U can't meet then you know that the meeting of 4 can't happen. |

"Is there a 2-hour period on Friday that is open for all four commissioners?"
It's vague. While the common sense suggests that we look for a 2-hour period 'common' to all 4 commissioners, the question above doesn't ask for a 'common' 2-hr period open period. All it asks is whether all 4 commissioners have a 2-hour open period. With that, C is the answer. |
