Nassar and Inman

Hi @Anthony-Sivash, The question stem does not tell us which partner makes the same amount of money as Nassar. We cannot assume that Nassar and Inman make the same salary. We know that both Kohn and Lopez must have greater salaries than Nassar but Nassar could make the same amount of money as any of the other 6 partners at the firm. We are looking for the answer choice which must be false. Answer choice C does not have to be false because the order could be: 1: K 2: I 3: F 4: L 5: N/M 6: M/N 7: G 8: J 9: H Where Nassar makes the same amount of money as Malloy. This order satisfies all of the conditions, and, under this scenario, Lopez's salary is less than Fox's. Answer choice D is correct because we know that Nassar has to make the same amount of money as someone else at the firm. If Lopez makes less than Hae, the order would be: 1: K 2: I 3: F 4: M 5: G 6: J 7: H 8: L 9: N This does not leave anyone available to make the same salary as Nassar because Lopez must follow Hae who must follow 6 of the other partners and Nassar must follow Lopez. Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Ok. Makes sense. Thanks

@Anthony-Sivash, let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi, Even if we are to assume that the question set the rule that Inman and Nassar make equal salaries, Lopez still can.t be less than fox, correct? K> L> I/N > F> M> G > J > H

@Dalaal, that is correct. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
