Fact 1: A boy has four cars.Fact 2: Two of the cars are red.Fact 3: He has one sports car. If the above three statements are facts then which of the following statement will also be a fact? I. The boy has a red sports car.II. He has 2 corollas.III. His favorite color is red.
Correct answer: D. None of the statements is a fact
- A. Only statements I and II are correct
- B. Only statement II is correct
- C. Only statement III is correct
- D. None of the statements is a fact
Explanation
There is not enough information to support any of the statements. The boy has a sports car but it is not known which of his vehicles is red. The brands of the cars are not given hence there is no way to prove that two of his cars are corollas. There is no way to know if the boy's favorite color is red just because he has two red cars.
