PT46.S4.G2 - esch side of four cassette tapes

Broccoli

I watched a explanation video but I still have few questions about this game. I have questions for #9 and #10.

For #9, I was choosing between A and B
For #10, I was choosing between C and E

Can somebody explain to me why some of the answer choices violate the rule? Most answer choice were incorrect because it leads to a violation of the RF block. But if you place it right, you can also avoid the RF block.

For example, #9 A. 1 on both J and 4 on F and H. I

I placed it like this below:

J F H R
J F R H

Q9.

(A): Tape 1: Jazz on both sides Tape 4: folk and hip-hop

Where can two Rs go? Tape 2 or Tape 3. If they are both on Tape 2, Tape 3 has F. So this violates /[RF] rule.

J R F F
J R H H

If one R on Tape 3, Tape 4 has F. So this also violates /[RF] rule.

J F R F
J R H H

It seems like you have R and H in 4.

Q10.

(E): Tape 3 and 4 each have F.

Then where can R go? Nowhere. Putting R on Tape 2/3 violates the /[RF] rule. Tape 1 can't have R.

Does this help at all? I'll look at the actual questions in the morning and try to be more useful. I'm sure @akistotle explained it perfectly, though.
