Direction: If all the three statements, marked (i), (ii) and (iii) are true, then which one of the following deductions, marked (1), (2), (3) and (4) can be MOST LOGICALLY deduced:

  1. (i) Whenever milk is kept in front of a child, he/she starts crying.
    (ii) Children cry if they are hungry.
    (iii) Unhappy children are hungry.
    1. When hungry, a child likes milk.
    2. A child crying means he/she is unhappy.
    3. A happy child does not cry.
    4. An unhappy child usually cries.
Correct Option: D

Lets eliminate options one by one-
Option A: Child is hungry, So, from (ii) child is crying, but we cannot say anything about the child liking milk or not.
Option B: A child is crying, but from this we cannot say anything regarding the child being hungry or unhappy.
Option C: The statements are not speaking about the happy child.
Option D: Unhappy children are hungry and hungry children cry. So choice (D) is most logically supported.
