Logical Problems Questions and Answers
Home > Logic Tests > Logical Problems > Logical Problems Questions
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: Eyeglass frames cost between $35 and $350.
Fact 2: Some eyeglass frames are made of titanium.
Fact 3: Some eyeglass frames are made of plastic.
If the first three statements are facts, which of the following statements must also be a fact?
I: Titanium eyeglass frames cost more than plastic frames.
II: Expensive eyeglass frames last longer than cheap frames.
III: Only a few eyeglass frames cost less than $35.
Answer & Explanation:
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
There is no information in the facts to support statements I or II.
Statement III is clearly wrong because, according to Fact 1, no frames cost less than $35.

II: The stories in storybooks are very simple.
III: Some storybooks have both words and pictures.

Fact 1: Some pens don't write.

There is not enough information to support statement III.
