📊 GMAT Exam Prep

Four candidates (J, K, L, M) are being interviewed for three distinct roles: Marketing Lead, Product Manager, and Operations Coordinator. Each candidate must be assigned to at most one role, and each role must be filled. The following conditions apply: (1) J is not suitable for the Marketing Lead role. (2) K must be assigned to a management role (Marketing Lead or Product Manager). (3) L has specific experience only relevant to the Operations Coordinator role. What is the correct assignment for L, AND which candidate cannot be assigned to any role?

A L is Operations Coordinator; J cannot be assigned.
B L is Operations Coordinator; M cannot be assigned.
C L is Product Manager; J cannot be assigned.
D L is Marketing Lead; M cannot be assigned.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

From (3), L must be Operations Coordinator. From (2), K is either Marketing Lead or Product Manager. Since J cannot be Marketing Lead (1) and K can't be Operations Coordinator, J must be Product Manager if K is Marketing Lead, or Marketing Lead if K is Product Manager. Thus, M is the unassigned candidate.
