excellent question dude.....and i agree....e sounds better.

But my guess is that the idiom did us in here.....

Allocated is always followed by to and not for. From the options a and e are the only ones that "sound" right. Among these a is better because the idiom is right. Its a classic problem of getting carried away by the "ear" rather than the sentence grammar.

Any thought? let me now if i'm wrong....cos this is how i solve SC and it would be great to know if i'm going wrong.

GMAT on Sept 29, 2009 by the way for me! ...so HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Correct idiom is 'allocated to'. You can use your ear more often than not when stuck with idiom problems.
