Here are my 2c on this.

Hi, I'm confused. The first order could not start on Sunday.
The second order requires a room for 3 people on Thursday, which only Starfish can satisfy. So if the first order started on Sunday, it would take over Starfish and made the 3rd order impossible. Quote: 'The manager will fulfill all three requests using the rooms listed on the Rooms tab and the Availability Calendar tab'.
Is overthinking is a thing in gmat now?@@
Request No. | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Request | 1P - 3N | 3P - 1N | 2P - 2N |
Starting On Nights | Sun/Mon/Tue | Th only | (Fri + Sat) Only |
Condition for room reservation:
Any room that is available (that is, not already reserved) for the requested nights and whose maximum occupancy is equal to or greater than the number of people listed in the request will satisfy the request; no other rooms can be used to satisfy the request. Since Request 2 and 3 are specific with higher constrains, we will think of them first.
For Request 2 (3P - 1N on Thu Only) there are only 3 options for Rooms --> Harbor, Star, and Beach. Out of these three, Beach and Harbor are not available on Thu Night, so we only have
Starfish available for Request-2.
For Request 3 (2P - 2N on Fri and Sat) We only have Seashell available for both nights, so Seashell is booked for Request-3
Now Request-1 (1P - 3N which can start any day Sun, Mon, OR Tue)
Starts on Sun: Only Starfish is available for 3 consecutive days till Tue.
(Possible)Starts on Mon: Only Beach Room is available for 3 consecutive days
(Possible)Starts on Tues: No Room Available for 3 days
(Not Possible)
