Sequencing Game Question - Help needed

According to the passage, there are two separate sequences available. K>I>F>M>G>J>H and a separate group sequence of K>L>N. I'm not sure what I may have missed but the only certain variable was that K made the highest salary. If Nassar makes the same as M in the longer sequence, wouldn't there be three possible partners making higher salaries (K, I & F) and if L is added anywhere in the sequence (before N of course), then wouldn't a possible sequence be K>L>I>F>N/M, leaving 4 as a maximum of partners making more than Nassar/Mallow. I'm considering N and M on the same line (not one after the other) leaving 4 possibilities before M. What am I missing?

    Hi @MariaL, Thanks for the question! This might be a quick one, but follow up if it’s not: you seem to be looking at the people before M. But the question is asking about people who have salaries lower than Lopez, in other words, after L. So we want to figure out what the least number of people lower than L are. And to do that, we want to put N as far back as possible. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
