Make only two selections, one in each column. https://gmatclub.com/forum/download/file.php?id=88513 Atlas and Cascade both have Standard reading sections (point 3). Since exactly one module has an Introductory reading section (point 1), Beacon must have an Introductory reading section. In every module, one section is Introductory, one is Standard, and one is Advanced. So Beacon cannot have an Introductory practice section , because Beacon already has an Introductory reading section. Therefore, the second statement (Beacon has an Introductory practice section) must be false. Since exactly two modules have Advanced practice sections and Beacon cannot have Introductory practice, Beacon must have an Advanced practice section . So Beacon has: Reading: Introductory Practice: Advanced Assessment: Standard The two possible distributions are: CASE 1: Atlas Beacon Cascade Reading Standard Introductory Standard Practice Advanced Advanced Introductory Assessment Introductory Standard Advanced CASE 2: Atlas Beacon Cascade Reading Standard Introductory Standard Practice Introductory Advanced Advanced Assessment Advanced Standard Introductory In both possible distributions, Beacon has a Standard assessment section . Therefore, the fifth statement (Beacon has a Standard assessment section) must be true. All other statements are not necessarily true or false. Answer: True: Beacon has a Standard assessment section. False: Beacon has an Introductory practice section. GMAT-Club-Forum-89aij919.png

it is known that Atlas (A), and Cascade (C) have standard Reading (SR) so B must have IR (Intro Reading) as mentioned in first point B is left with either SP (standard Practice) or AP (adv prac) and SA or AA statement two says one should have IP, as B cannot have IP - it will have AP, as both IR and AP are used up, it is left with SA (standard Assessment) so 5th one True as B already has one Intro in Reading, it cannot have the same in Practice so 2nd one False

Training modules : Atlas, Beacon, Cascade Sections: Reading, Practice, Assessment Sections: Introductory, Standard, Advanced 1. Exactly one module has an Introductory Reading Section 2. Exactly 2 modules have Advanced Practice section; Remaining module has Introductory Practice section 3. Atlas and Cascade both have Standard Reading sections.

because IR is beacon so beacon cant have IP and its a must question, so the only other info that we have is about AP so thats why A and B

Three modules are A,B,C
Three sections are R,P,As.
Three sections are I,S,Ad.

1 module has IR
2 module have Ad.P and 1 has IP (B already have introductory Reading, so it must include Ad.P)
A and C both have SR (Then, B must have IR)

A has SR (either Ad.P or IS)
B has IR , Ad.P (only remaining section it can include is As.S)
C has SR (either IS or Ad.P)

B already has introductory reading, so it must not include introductory practice.
B has both IR, Ad.P so the remaining one it must include is Standard Assessment section.

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

Given = Atlas / Cascade both have standard Reading; one module has introductory reading = Beacon. Now we know each module has all 3 types - Advance / Standard / Introductory. Since Beacon has introductory reading, it cant have introductory practice - this is false. Now use the info of Advanced practice. Since 2 modules have Advance practice and one has introductory, Beacon must have advance practice since it has introductory reading. This is true.

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

So I solved this with the help of a table:

Atlas Beacon Cascade
Reading | Standard. | Introductory. |. Standard |
Practice | | | |
Assessement | | | |

This is the only piece of information that we can positively say that is true. If we take into account the second statement, it gives multiple conditions and combinations about the practice section

But point to be noted is that:
1. It talks about the practice section.
2. Talks about the advanced and introductory section. that means for beacon standard section is guaranteed for assessment section

I struggled a bit on time with this question as the language was very confusing. I got confused between what was a module and what was a section.

However, I was able to find the answer as below:
GIven that three programs, Atlas, Beacon and Cascade

Under each there are Three Sections As follows:

Atlas:
Reading
Practice
Assesment

Beacon:
Reading
Practice
Assesment

Cascade:
Reading
Practice
Assesment

Statement one: only one has Intoductory Reading Section.
Statement two: Exactly 2 have Advanced Practice. The third one has Introductory Practice
Statement three: Atlas and Cascade have Standard Reading Sections

Combining one and three, we can see that Atlas and Cascade have Standard reading. Hence, Beacon must have Introductory Reading.
I struggled a lot with trying to place the second statement. Couldn't get it. Decided to go to the options and surprisingly saw two statements about Beacon. Since Beacon has Intro Reading, It can't have Intro Practice. So got the False answer.

Also, Beacon needs to have an advance practice since stateement two says that the three practice sessions are advance advance and intro.

Thus found the answer to the true statement as well.

Not sure if answer is correct, but that's the best I could deduce

Let's sketch out a matrix and add information while reading the question.

Statements three and one together tell us that Modules A and C must have standard reading sections, and therefore Module B must have introductory reading.
Statement two tells us that one module has an introductory practice session, which cannot be Module B as its reading stage is already introductory. This also confirms that module B's assessment stage must be standard.
The Matrix therefore looks like this:

Module A. B. C.
READING: standard. itroduc. standard.
PRACTICE. advanc.
ASSESSMENT standard

Statement 1: Module A could have an advanced or introductory assessment stage, so we cannot say
Statement 2: Module B must have an advanced practice stage, so this is FALSE
Statement 3: Module C could have an advanced or introductory practice stage, so we cannot say
Statement 4: Module B must have a standard assessment stage, so this is TRUE
Statement 5: Module C could have an advanced or introductory stage, so we cannot say

Given
1) each module A,B and C have each one - Std S, Advacnced A and Introductory I modules...
2)only 1 modules has an I reading - use this 2nd
3) 2 have A in Practise and other has I in practise
4)n Atlas and CAscade both have S in Reading

use 4) 1st...
then use 2) 2nd...
Use 3) 3rd.. i.e if Practise has A/I for Atleast and I/A for Cascade ... Beacon can have I so it has to have 1 A...now fill the Assmnt row

	Atlas	Beacon	Cascade
Reading	S	I	S
Praac	A/I	A	I/A
Assmnt	I/A	S	A/I

Using thsi we see.. Beacon has S for assessment is true and Beacon has I for practise is False

1) Its given that Beacon -> Reading Introductory and Standard for Atlas and Cascade
2) There are two Practice (Advanced) and one Practice (Introductory)

By using the above two statements, we can fix Beacon's Intro/Adv/Std levels.

Module	Atlas	Beacon	Cascade
Reading	Standard	Introductory	Standard
Practice	Introductory OR Advanced	Advanced	Advanced OR Introductory
Assessment	Advanced OR Introductory	Standard	Introductory OR Advanced

From the table we can infer that:
Beacon has a introductory practice session -- FALSE
Beacon has a standard assessment session -- TRUE

We can solve this using matrices. We are given that Atlas (A), Beacon (B) and Cascade (C) each have 3 sections : reading (R), practice (P) and assessment (As) and each section is also mapped to one of three segments: Advanced (Ad), Standard (S) and Introductory (I).

A and B are already mapped S-R. Using the information above, there are only 2 possible cases:

1.
A is mapped S-R, C is mapped S-R.
If A and B are mapped Ad-P [advanced -practice], then:
Since A already has A-R and Ad-P, it must have an assessment sectional as well. Hence A will get mapped I-As. (Introductory Assessment).
Now since Adv-P can be only in exactly 2 modules, C must get I-R (Introductory Reading).
Hence this leaves I-R and S-As for B.

2.
If B and C are mapped Ad-P.
Again, since B & C both have Ad-P, A must have I-P. This means since A already has S-R and now I-P, it must have Ad-As.
Also, since C already has S-R and Ad-P, it must have I-As.
That leaves I-R for B and S-As for B.

Hence comparing the two tables, for must be true: we get B has S-As (standard assessment) (column 1, row 5)
and must be false: B has I-P. (column 2, row 2).

Hence must be true: Beacon has a standard assessment session.
Must be false: Beacon has Introductory-Practice session.

Also note: In no case, can we have A and C getting Ad-P as that would violate the condition for each module covering all 3 sections mapped to all 3 segments. This is because, since both A and C already have Reading and Practice mapped to both Standard and Advanced respectively, B must I-R which means Assessment will come twice under introduction for both A and C which is not possible since each segment can be mapped to only one section for one module.

Hope this helps and more importantly hope this is correct! :')

i am going true as - B has standard assessment section and false as - B has an introductory practice section.
we are given that A and C have standard reading section and exactly one module should have introductory reading section, thus that would be B.
now as one section can have one difficulty, we know that B cannot have any intro practice or assessment section thus giving us the false statement.
we are given exactly two modules have advance practice and one have intro so B can't be that one so it must have advance practice and hence we are left with B having standard assessment section making it true.

We will be denoting the info in these short forms:
The Modules-
Atlas: At
Beacon: B
Cascade: C

Section types-
Introductory: I
Standard: S
Advanced: Ad

Sections:
Reading: R
Practice: P
Assessment: As

Here is what we know:
Info set 1:
"At & C have Standard Reading section"
"Only one Module has an Introductory Reading Section"
Takeaway- The 'only module' which has Introductory Reading Section has to be 'B' since 'At' and 'C' have Standard reading sections.

Info Set 2:
"2 modules have Advanced Practice Section, and the third one has Introductory Practice Section."
Takeaway- The one section that has Introductory Practice Section cannot be 'B' since it has an Introductory Reading section, and the question stem tells us that each module has only one of each section types.
Therefore, 'B' has to have Advanced Practice Section, with either 'At' or 'C'.

Since we now know B has Introductory reading section and advanced Practice section, it can only have Standard Assessment section.
All this info can be represented as:

At B C
Reading (S) (I) (S)
Practice (I/A) (A) (I/A)
Assessment (I/A) (S) (I/A)

Looking at the options:
Since we know the order for module 'B' with certainty, we check its options first and see that statement two is definitely false.
Because 'B' has an introductory reading section.
Further, we see that 'B' indeed has a Standard Assessment section as we were able to deduce, hence that statement is definitely true.

Answer:
Statement 2: FALSE
Statement 5: TRUE

If Atlas and Cascade have a Standard Reading section then acc point 1 Beacon has a Introductory reading.
Since Beacon already has an Introductory section, then acc to point 2 it will have a Advanced practice which leaves us with Standard for Assessment, hence true for Beacon has a Standard assessment & false for beacon has a introductory practice section

We have 3 modules here, Atlas, Beacon, Cascade. Each one of them has 3 sections: Reading, practice and assesment. These 3 sections get labeled Introductory, Standard and Advanced. There are no repeats within the module
3) says that Atlas and Cascade reading sections are standard
1)Only 1 module in the whole company has an introductory section. So neither Atlas and Cascade can have an introductory section since they both are Standard as said in 3). SO Beacon's reading section must be introductory. Therefore Beacon's other 2 sections can only be Standard and Advanced
2) Second clue says that 2 modules have advanced practice and the 1 remaining module has Introductory practice. We can thus say that Beacon cannot be that 1 introductory practice module as we have concluded in 1) that means Beacon has to be one of the 2 modules with advanced practice

Atlas and Cascade stay uncertain. Therefore Final Asnwer is that
True: Beacon has a Standard Assesment Section
False: Beacon has an introductory Practice section
