It's an easy LSAT question, only I got it wrong according to my book and I have no clue how that's the case. I read the explanation and I'm pretty sure it's just wrong.
The members of two committees, a planting committee and a trails committee, are to be selected from among seven volunteers--F, G, H, J, K, L, M. The following conditions govern the composition of the committees:
Each committee must have at least three members.
F cannot be on the same committee as K.
If K is on a committee, J must also be on that committee.
M must be on at least one of the committees.
The two committees must have at least one member in common.
Question: What is the largest number of members that the two committees could have in common?
I know what I think the right answer is and what the book says it is, and I'm so frustrated that I can't figure out what's wrong. If some of you guys can try this and tell me your answer, I'd actually really appreciate it.
