If R is a representative and M is not a representative, the group of representatives would be completely determined if it were also true that

Options:

A . L is not a representative.

B . S is not a representative.

C . P is not a representative

D . N is a representative

Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
If R is a representative, L cannot be a representative. Also, M is not a representative. So, K and N are the representatives from faculty members.
From (iii), since M is not a representative, so P cannot be a representative from students.
Thus, either Q or S is the second representative from students.
