Because of a computer malfunction, an accountant cannot directly determine the classification of certain accounts. Each account falls into one of five classifications: type 1, type 2, type 3, type 4, or type 5. The accountant hopes to be able to determine the classification of these accounts by tracing which operations the computer has performed on them. There are exactly four operations: W, X, Y, and Z. No operation can be performed more than once on a given account, and the operations were performed, without exception, according to the following rules: If an account is a type 1, the computer performs either operation W or, alternatively, operation X. If the account is a type 2, the computer performs either operation X alone or, alternatively, operation X and any one of the remaining operations except W. If an account is a type 3, the computer performs either operation Y alone or, alternatively, operation Y and one of the remaining operations If an account is a type 4, the computer performs exactly two operations in any combination except that X cannot be one of the two operations. If an account is a type 5, the computer performs exactly three operations in any combination drawn from the four operations. 20.If the accountant knows that the computer has performed exactly one operation on an account, which of the following must be true? (A) The account is either a type 1 or a type 2. (B) The account is either a type 1, type 2, or a type 3. (C) The account is either a type 2, a type 3, or a type 5. (D) The account is either a type 2, a type 4, or a type 5. (E) The account is either a type 3, a type 4, or a type 5. 21. If the accountant knows that the computer has performed operation Z on an account but cannot determine solely from traces in the account whether any other operation has been

performed, the account could be any one of the five types EXCEPT type (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4 (E) 5 22. Which type of account, if operated on by the computer, must have operation X performed on it? (A) Type 1 (B) Type 2 (C) Type 3 (D) Type 4 (E) Type 5 23. If the accountant knows that operations X and Z are the only operations that have been performed on an account, the account must be a type (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4 (E) 5 24. If the accountant knows that the computer has performed exactly two operations on a given account, and operation Y was not one of the two, which of the following must be true? (A) The account is either a type 1 or a type 2. (B) The account is either a type 2 or a type 3. (C) The account is either a type 2 or a type 4. (D) The account is either a type 3 or a type 4.
