Direction (for Q.No. 1):

Each problem consists of three statements. Based on the first two statements, the third statement may be true, false, or uncertain.

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.

	A.	I only
	B.	II only
	C.	II and III only
	D.	None of the statements is a known fact.

Your Answer: Option

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:

There is not enough information to support any of the statements. Robert is known to have a minvan, 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).
