To ensure computer security, a firm has rules about access of managerial and nonmanagerial employees to various networked computer drives. In accordance with the rules, some but not all nonmanagerial employees are allowed access to both Drive B and Drive D. Some are required to have such access. Every nonmanagerial employee must have access to at least one of Drive B and Drive D. No nonmanagerial employee is allowed to have access to both Drive B and Drive E. The rules do not restrict the access of managerial employees to any of the drives mentioned.
From the following statements about computer security practices in relation to the firm's employees, select for Required the statement that, based on the information provided, describes a practice that is required by the rules, and select for Permitted the statement that describes a practice that is permitted, but NOT required, by the rules. Make only two selections, one in each column.

RULES:
1) Non-managerial
- Not every one has access to both B and D
- Some have access to both B and D
- No one has access to both B and E
- All have access to at least one of B and D.
- No restrictions, all permitted
Required (a practice that is required by the rules)
Go through the options. There is only one choice that is a MUST. If a non-managerial has access to E, then he must have access to D.
One of B and D is must, and B does not go along with E. So the rule requires that E is coupled with D.
Permitted ( a practice that is permitted, but NOT required, by the rules)
- At least one nonmanagerial employee is currently not allowed access to any of the three drives B, D, and E.
- Managerial employees, and only those, are currently allowed access to Drive E.
- The nonmanagerial employees who are currently allowed access to Drive D are also allowed access to Drive E.
- The managerial and nonmanagerial employees who are currently allowed access to Drive B are also allowed access to Drive E.

Hi @chetan2u! how is this -- At least one nonmanagerial employee is currently not allowed access to any of the three drives B, D, and E -- a requirement? It has been mentioned that All Nonmanagerial folks are part of B or D or (B AND D). So, there cannot be a single person who doesnt have access to ANY of the drivers. So,how can there exist atleast 1 person which has not got access to ANY of the 3 drivers?
Thanks in advance
