Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Here, more than one individual can be placed in a given position (more than one appointment can be schedule for certain days.)
start by summarizing the information :
H = Th
G `lt` I
(J+F) `ltL`
K = F
You might notice that there is one further conclusion to be drawn. Since K and F must be scheduled for the same day, and since F must come before L, we can infer that K also comes before L. Apart from that, there do not appear to be any further important inferences to be drawn. So we go to the questions.
Enter the additional information on a diagram :
`{:("M TU W TH F"),(" K H "):}`
This means that F is also scheduled for Wednesday :
`{:("M TU W TH F"),(" KF H "):}`
L must be seen sometime after F :
`{:("M TU W TH F"),(" KF H L"):}`
Then, G must be seen before I.
`{:("M TU W TH F"),("G I KF H L"):}`
M and J will be seen on Monday and Tuesday, though not necessarily in that Order :

Our diagram confirms that statements I and III are true. Statement II, however, is only possibly true and, therefore, not part of the correct choice.
