Direction: The logic problems in this set present you with three true statements : Fact 1, Fact 2, and Fact 3. Then, you are given three more statements (labeled I, II, and III), and you must determine which of these, if any, is also a fact. One or two of the statements could be true; all of the statements could be true; or none of the statements could be true. Choose your answer based solely on the information given in the first three facts.
-
Fact 1 : Robert has four vehicles.
Fact 2 : Two of the vehicles are red.
Fact 3 : One of the vehicles is a minivan.
If the first three statements are facts, which of the following statements must also be a fact?
I. Robert has a red minivan.
II. Robert has three cars.
III. Robert’s favorite color is red.
-
- I only
- II only
- II and III only
- None of the statements is a known fact.
Correct Option: D
There is not enough information to support any of the statements. Robert is known to have a minivan, but it is not known which of his vehicles is red. Robert may have a pickup or sport utility vehicle, so the second statement cannot be supported. There is no way to know if Robert’s favorite color is red (statement III).
