A restaurant chain is evaluating nine suppliers. Each supplier belongs to one of three categories and has been rated on price competitiveness, delivery reliability, and product quality. A larger number of filled circles (●) represents a stronger rating.
A supplier can be selected only if, within its category, no other supplier has a higher rating on any of the three criteria. Meeting this requirement does not necessarily mean that the supplier will be selected, since the chain may also consider other factors.
For each statement, select Supported if it must be true based on the information provided. Otherwise, select Not supported.

Official Solution:
The ratings provide a necessary condition for selection, not a guarantee of selection. A supplier satisfies the requirement only if it is tied for or has the highest rating on all three criteria within its category. Even a supplier that satisfies this requirement may still not be selected because the chain can consider other factors.
• No supplier in the Packaging category satisfies the stated rating requirement.
In the Packaging category, different suppliers have the highest rating on different criteria. No single supplier is tied for or has the highest rating on all three criteria.
Answer: Supported
• At least one category has more than one supplier that satisfies the stated rating requirement.
In one category, two suppliers are tied for the highest rating on all three criteria. Therefore, both suppliers satisfy the requirement.
Answer: Supported
• The chain will select at least one supplier in the IT services category.
One IT services supplier satisfies the stated rating requirement. However, satisfying the requirement does not guarantee selection because the chain may apply other criteria.
Therefore, the information does not establish that any IT services supplier will actually be selected.
Answer: Not supported
Correct answers:
Statement 1: Supported
Statement 2: Supported
Statement 3: Not supported

Sort by Category and Evaluate
No supplier in the Packaging category satisfies the stated rating requirement
Arbor foods has higher rating in Price Competitiveness but has lower rating in other two parameters than other suppliers.
Therefore, no supplier is possible. Thus SUPPORTED
At least one category has more than one supplier that satisfies the stated rating requirement
Look at Transport category which has two suppliers (Dispatch Pro and Cargo Direct) who are matched identically and have the highest ratings individually. Both of them would qualify for the rating criteria.
Therefore SUPPORTED
The chain will select at least one supplier in the IT services category
Nexa Technologies has a clear lead in all the parametersand thus will be chosen but question very sneakily put this in the last sentence that rating requirement alone does NOT mean that the vendor will be selected.
Therefore NOT SUPPORTED
No supplier in the Packaging category satisfies the stated rating requirement
Arbor foods has higher rating in Price Competitiveness but has lower rating in other two parameters than other suppliers.
Therefore, no supplier is possible. Thus SUPPORTED
At least one category has more than one supplier that satisfies the stated rating requirement
Look at Transport category which has two suppliers (Dispatch Pro and Cargo Direct) who are matched identically and have the highest ratings individually. Both of them would qualify for the rating criteria.
Therefore SUPPORTED
The chain will select at least one supplier in the IT services category
Nexa Technologies has a clear lead in all the parameters
Therefore NOT SUPPORTED
