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.
