  • A. Only conclusion (I) follows
  • B. Only conclusion (II) follows
  • C. Both conclusions follow

About Logical Problems

Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
