Everyone in Biba’s neighborhood is permitted to swim at Barton Pool at some time during each day that it is open. No children under the age of 6 are permitted to swim at Barton Pool between noon and 5 P.M. From 5 P.M. until closing, Barton Pool is reserved for adults only.
If all the sentences above are true, then which one of the following must be true?
(A)
Few children under the age of 6
live in Biba’s neighborhood. - WRONG. Few and live(irrrelevant as well) both are debatable so either possibility exists.
(B)
If Biba’s next-door neighbor
has a child under the age of 6, then Barton Pool is
open before noon. - CORRECT. Only if these children are there than it must be that pool opens before 12 noon.
(C) If most children who swim in Barton Pool swim in the afternoon, then the pool is generally
less crowded after 5 P.M. - WRONG. Possible children older than 6 years but crowding is irrelevant to the passage. Either possibility exists.
(D) On days when Barton Pool is open,
at least some children swim there in the afternoon. - WRONG. 2nd best choice. But it is not necessary that childrene are swimming. After 5 we don't know who swims.
(E) Any child swimming in Barton Pool before 5 P.M. must be
breaking Barton Pool rules. - WRONG. Between 12 noon to 5pm, YES. Between start time to 12 noon, NO(if pool starts before 12 noon).
Three time periods possibly exists:
1. Start time - 12 noon(if pool starts before 12 noon)
2. 12 noon - 5pm
3. 5pm - closing time
