Question

Determine that if A buys R and T, then B buys :

• A. P & Q
• B. R & T
• C. P & S
• D. Q & U
• E. Q & T

Hint:

In conditional logic puzzles, first apply the ``if-then'' rule that is triggered by the given condition. Then use what remains to fill in the others, and verify any secondary conditions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Concept Analysis:
Apply the conditional rules given A buys R and T.

Step 2: Solution Approach:
A buys R and T. Since A buys R $\Rightarrow$ B buys neither P nor S. Remaining items for B and C: P, Q, S, U (R and T taken by A). B cannot buy P or S $\Rightarrow$ B buys from Q and U only $\Rightarrow$ B buys Q & U. C buys P & S. Check: B buys Q $\Rightarrow$ C buys neither U nor T. C buys P & S (no U, no T) $\checkmark$.

Step 3: Conclusion:
B buys Q & U.
