Vanessa: All
computer code must be written by a pair of programmers working at a single workstation. This is needed to prevent programmers from writing idiosyncratic code that can be understood only by the original programmer.
Jo: Most programming projects are kept afloat by the best programmers on the team, who are typically at least 100 times more productive than the worst. Since they generally work best when they work alone,
the most productive programmers must be allowed to work by themselves.Note: Parts highlighted in bold are the conditions to satisfy
(A) Olga and Kensuke are both
programmers of roughly average productivity who feel that they are more productive when working alone. They have been assigned to
work together at a single workstation. Compliant
(B) John is experienced but is
not among the most productive programmers on the team. He has been assigned to mentor Tyrone, a new programmer
who is not yet very productive. They are to
work together at a single workstation. [color=#ff4136]Compliant[/color]
(C) Although
not among the most productive programmers on the team, Chris is more productive than Jennifer. They have been
assigned to work together at a single workstation. Compliant(D) Yolanda is the
most productive programmer on the team. She has been
assigned to work with Mike, who is also very productive. They are to work together at the same workstation.
Goes against 1 and 2. Most productive should not work together(E) Kevin and Amy both have a reputation for writing idiosyncratic code;
neither is unusually productive. They have been assigned to
work together at the same workstation. [color=#ff4136]Compliant[/color]

Each of the following assignments of computer programmers is consistent both with the principle expressed by Vanessa and with the principle expressed by Jo EXCEPT:
(A) Olga and Kensuke are both programmers of roughly average productivity who feel that they are more productive when working alone. They have been assigned to work together at a single workstation.
(B) John is experienced but is not among the most productive programmers on the team. He has been assigned to mentor Tyrone, a new programmer who is not yet very productive. They are to work together at a single workstation.
(C) Although not among the most productive programmers on the team, Chris is more productive than Jennifer. They have been assigned to work together at a single workstation.
(D) Yolanda is the most productive programmer on the team. She has been assigned to work with Mike, who is also very productive. They are to work together at the same workstation.
(E) Kevin and Amy both have a reputation for writing idiosyncratic code; neither is unusually productive. They have been assigned to work together at the same workstation.
