Out of L, M, N, O, P, you can at max select 3 only.
If L is selected then O and P cannot be selected.
Therefore, 3 selected are L, M and N satisfying the conditions.
If L is not selected and M is selected, then
3 selected are M, N and O
If M is not selected then 3 selected are N, O and P.
In all cases N is selected.
