Zhaleh is throwing a party and has invited 8 of her friends: Antoinette, Betsy, Cecile, Dvora, Esperanza, Fausta, Gwen, and Hedda. Due to the complicated interpersonal relationships in Zhaleh's friend group, the following is known about attendance at the party: Antoinette will attend only if Dvora and Esperanza both attend. Hedda will not attend unless Antoinette does not attend, in which case Hedda will attend. Betsy will attend if there will be fewer than 6 total people in attendance, including herself and Zhaleh. Cecile and Gwen will both attend, Fausta will not. Based on the information provided, in the table below, select in the first column the minimum number of people who will attend the party, including Zhaleh, and select in the second column the maximum number of people who will attend the party, including Zhaleh.

I got the question wrong. Can you tell us the source of the question ? Is the official answer right ? because no one has got it right till now.

The answer I got was Min: 4 Max: 6
Min & Max occurs when :-
Min: CGZH
Max: CGZADE

But, B will attend in the Min case, and answer should most probably be : Min 5, Max: 6

Thank you Kinshook That was a great explanation. Can we expect such a question in GMAT ? How to train ourselves to face such questions ? Any tips for us ?

OA says minimum 5 and max 7. However, I also go min 5 and max 6.
I think something is wrong with the OA. Is there a Manhattan prep account on GMAT club we tag and ask to check.
