Problem 11

A $\textit{tetromino}$ consists of four squares connected along their edges. There are five possible tetromino shapes, $I$, $O$, $L$, $T$, and $S$, shown below, which can be rotated or flipped over. Three tetrominoes are used to completely cover a $3\times4$ rectangle. At least one of the tiles is an $S$ tile. What are the other two tiles?

$\textbf{(A)}I$ and $L\qquad \textbf{(B)} I$ and $T\qquad \textbf{(C)} L$ and $L\qquad \textbf{(D)}L$ and $S\qquad \textbf{(E)}O$ and $T$
