A company is reviewing three employee training modules: Atlas, Beacon, and Cascade. Each module includes three sections: reading, practice, and assessment. In every module, one section is Introductory, one section is Standard, and one section is Advanced. The following information is known: Exactly one module has an Introductory reading section. Exactly two modules have an Advanced practice section, and the remaining module has an Introductory practice section. Atlas and Cascade both have Standard reading sections. Select for True a statement that must be true, and select for False a statement that must be false, based on the information provided. Make only two selections, one in each column.

Atlas Beacon Cascade Standard Reading Introductory Reading Standard Reading Advanced Assessment Standard Assessment Introductory Assessment Introductory Practice Adanced Practice Advanced Practice Based on this Beacon can't have Introductory Practice section for sure as already Introductory Reading is present and thus Beacon will have Standard Assessment section for sure

Based on given information.. Lets make a table
ATLAS BEACON CASCADE
Reading standard(given in 3rd condition) Introductory(1st condition) standard(given in 3rd condition)
Practice Intro/ advance( both possible) Advance Intro/Advance( both possible)
Assessment Intro/Advance(both possible) Standard Intro/advance( both possible)

Note:- As per second condition only out of two advance practice session beacon has to have one advance practice session. since the remaining has introductory practice session and It can't have introductory practice session since It already has introductory in reading section. each module has to have all three intro/ advance and standard.

After solving this the Beacon can have only standard assessment session and hence the problem is solved. Now check for must be true and must be false

We know that exactly one module has introductory reading and Atlas and Cascade both have Standard reading.

Therefore,
atlas reading standard
cascade reading standard
beacon reading introductory

We know exactly two modules have advanced practice and the remaining module has introductory practice. Since beacon already has intro reading, beacon cannot also have intro practice.

Therefor
beacon advanced
atlas/cascade one advanced, one intro

beacon
reading intro
practice advanced
the remaining level standard so beacon assessment is standard

Atlas
reading standard
practice advanced or intro
if practice is advanced then assessment is intro
if practice is intro then assessment is advanced

Cascade
reading is standard
practice is advanced or intro
assessment is other, either adv or intro

From above Beacon can not have intro practice section.

Beacon must have standard assessment section

Exactly one module has Introductory Reading session. Since we know that Atlas and Cascade have Standard Reading section, Beacon has Introductory Reading session.
Beacon cannot have Introductory practice session now so it must have Advanced practice session along with any one of Atlas or Cascade.
Only the following mappings are possible:

Hence, Beacon having standard assessment will always be true and Beacon having introductory practice will always be false.

Here is my outcome
Reading:
Rule (1) Exactly 1 has intro reading
Rule (3) A & C has standard reading
Therefore, B has intro reading.
Practice:
Rule (2) 2 have advanced and 1 has introductory
As B has already I in its reading, it must be A in its practice.
Since, B has already I and A, so, it should have standard assessment
Plugging all the rules, I get the following information
Module Sections (I, S, A)
Reading Practice Assessment
A S A/I I/A [different possibilities]
B I A S [100% possible]
C S I/A I/A [different possibilities]

Therefore, Beacon has introductory practice (False statement) but beacon has standard assessment (True statement)

Must be false:

Relevant Question info
1) Atlas and Cascade have standard reading sections
2) Exactly one module has introductory reading section. Inference: This has to be Beacon because other 2 have standard reading sections
3) Each module has one Introductory, Standard and Advanced section. Inference: Beacon cannot have introductory practice or introductory assessment since the reading section is introductory here

Hence, statement 2 which says beacon has introductory practice session must be false.

Must be true:

Relevant question info:
1) Atlas and Cascade both have standard reading sections
2) Exactly one module (Beacon as inferred above) has introductory reading section
3) Exactly 2 modules have advance practice and 1 has introductory practice section. Inference: since Beacon already has an intro section for reading, it cannot have intro for practice as well. Hence, between Atlas and Cascade, they will have advanced and intro practice sections and Beacon will have advanced practice section

From 2 above, we know Beacon has intro reading and from 3 above, we know it also has advanced practice. All that's left is standard assessment and that's what statement 5 says which must be true

Because, Atlas & Cascade both have std. reading section( As per condition 3) & exactly 1 module has introductory reading section ( As per condition 1).
.: Beacon is having Introductory reading section.
Since, Beacon is having introductory reading its practice section has to be either standard or Advance. But as per condition 2 Exactly 2 module is having advance and remaining one is having introductory practice session, there is no module which can have standard practice section. Therefore, beacon has to have Advance practice section. (Since, each module has only 1 introductory, 1 standard and 1 advance section)
.: Beacon is having Standard Assessment section.
True is Beacon is having standard assessment section.
False is Beacon is having standard reading section.
A company is reviewing three employee training modules: Atlas, Beacon, and Cascade. Each module includes three sections: reading, practice, and assessment. In every module, one section is Introductory, one section is Standard, and one section is Advanced.

The following information is known:

Exactly one module has an Introductory reading section.
Exactly two modules have an Advanced practice section, and the remaining module has an Introductory practice section.
Atlas and Cascade both have Standard reading sections.

Select for True a statement that must be true, and select for False a statement that must be false, based on the information provided. Make only two selections, one in each column.

help to draw a quick grid

Reading:
Atlas and cascade reading = standard, the other is intro reading which can only be beacon

Practise:
moving on to practise, we have to allocate to the three practise section, advanced, advanced and intro.

Beacon already has an intro reading so cannot have intro practise and as there is no standard practise, it must be advanced
Therefore Beacon assessment must be standard.

True statement: Beacon standard assessment
false statement: Beacon intro practise

Based on this Beacon can't have Introductory Practice section for sure as already Introductory Reading is present and thus Beacon will have Standard Assessment section for sure

There are actually two viable cases:
RI: B RS: AC RA: None
PI: C/A PS: None PA:A/C B
AI: A/C AS:B AA:C/A

So based on these combinations we can clearly state the conditions of module B : Reading Introductory, Practice Advanced and Assessment Standard

we need statement which MUST be true/false.
now, as we know, A&C have SR sections, and exactly 1 module have introductory reading section, so, B has IR section, so B cannot have any other intro sections. Therefore statement 2 must be false.
and, as practice sections are 2 advanced and 1 intro. B will be having an advanced practice section and therefore a standard assessment section(statement5).

True: Beacon has standard assessment section.
False: Beacon has introductory practice section.

We are given a lot of information, so it is best to not get overwhelmed and focus on one thing at a time. Start with restrictions to eliminate other possibilities.

Use a tree-like diagram to organize work.

A -> RPA
B - > RPA
C -> RPA
We must place I,S,A to each of the R,P,A.
Start with (3), which confirms that both A and C both have standard reading sections. This means that per 1, B must have an introductory reading session.

A -> R(S)PA
B - > R(I)PA
C -> R(S)PA

Now examining statement 2, if two models have an advanced practice section, and the third must be introductory, that means that B must have the advanced practice section, because the introductory section is already taken by R.

Therefore, it becomes:

A -> R(S)P(A)A
B -> R(I)P(A)A
C -> R(S) P, A

The 2nd advanced practice section can be placed either in A or C. Notice that this means, which is that B must also have a standard assessment section.

Examining the answer choices, focus on B because we have the most concrete information about it. Clearly, Beacon cannot have an introductory practice section because we have concluded it must have advanced based on the restrictions. Similarly, it must have a standard assessment section.

Took me 5 mins total, any faster way to do this?

modules: Atlas, Beacon, and Cascade.
Each module includes three sections: reading, practice, and assessment.
In every module, one section is Introductory, one section is Standard, and one section is Advanced.

Given:
1. Exactly one module has an Introductory reading section.
2. Exactly two modules have an Advanced practice section, and the remaining module has an Introductory practice section.
3. Atlas and Cascade both have Standard reading sections.

From (3), A= SR
From (3), C= SR
Hence, B= IR
B already has introductory section. From (2) B should have Advanced Practice section. Analyze options

1. Atlas has an Advanced practice section. Maybe it could also have Introductory practice section.
2. Beacon has an Introductory practice section.
Beacon has an introductory reading section. So it must be FALSE.

3. Cascade has an Introductory practice section. It could also have advanced practice section.
4. Atlas has an Introductory assessment section. It could also have advanced practice section.
5. Beacon has a Standard assessment section. It muse be True. Beacon already has introductory reading and advanced practice section. TRUE

6. Cascade has an Advanced assessment section. No

As per question, each of modules A,B,C have each of Read, Practise and Assessment section and each of Introductory, Advanced and Standard Sections. Since B already has Introcuctory Read section, it cannot have Introductory Practice section.
Since B already has Intoductory Read and Advanced Practise section, it will have Standeard Assessment Section.

After filling in the given Standard for Atlas and Cascade in Reading,
we are left only with Beacon for Intro ( because Exactly one need to be Intro)

For Practice,
we need to allocate 2 advanced and 1 intro,
Now, Beacon can't get Intro since it already have Intro in Reading, Thus, it have to be Advanced in Practice.
And thus, Beacon have Standard in Assessment.

Rest others have the two options which we can't confirm as per given data.
Thus, the Table will look something like this:

	Reading	Practice	Assessment
Atlas	Standard	Adv / Intro	Intro / Adv
Beacon	Intro	Advanced	Standard	Confirmed
Cascade	Standard	Intro/ Adv	Adv / Intro
	Exactly 1 Intro	Exactly 2 Adv. , 1 Intro

Thus, the final answer is:
True: Beacon has a Standard assessment section
False: Beacon has an Introductory practice section

Basis the question, we know below information-
From 3) we know A and C have standard reading sections
From 1) we know one module has Introductory reading section, from above A and C are standard hence B has Intro reading section

Reading section= A(Standard), B (Introductory), C (Standard)
Also we know in every module sections cannot be repeated.

From 2) we know two modules practice sessions are advanced and one is Introductory. Since B reading section is introductory hence it cannot repeat. Therefore, B's practice session is advanced.

We can conclude for B:
Reading- Intro
Practice- Advanced
Assessment- Standard.

Hence statement 2 is false for B and statement 5 is true for B.

From Statement 3 0- Atlas and Cascade have Standard reading.
From statement 1 -- > Beacon has Intro Reading
From Statement 2 - 2 have advanced while the remaining is Intro. Since Beacon has Intro reading, it cannot have Intro Practice as well. So it needs to be Advanced Practice. So second Option is False
In Beacon, Reading is Intro, Practice is Advanced so Assignment will be Standard ->5th option is True
