Comcorp Shipping Clerk: Last week, no shipments of building supplies were sent out on friday. The five specially ordered shipments sent out last week were sent out on Thursday, and each of those specially ordered shipments consisted entirely of building supplies. Four shipments were sent to Truax Construction last week, none of which consisted of building supplies.

If the shipping clerk's statements are true, which of the following must also be true?

a. All of Comcorp's shipments of building supplies last week were specially ordered.
b. None of Comcorp's shipments sent on friday of last week was sent to Truax Construction.
c. None of the shipments sent by Comcorp by Truax Construction last week was specially ordered.
d. None of Comcorp's shipments sent on thursday of last week was sent to Truax Construction.
e. All of Comcorp's shipments of building supplies last week were sent out on thursday.

Please provide an explanation for your answer.

5 specially ordered shipments were sent out last week and they all consisted entirely of supplies. Traux had 4 shipments, none of which were supplies so Traux shipments could not have been specially ordered.
IMO C.

a. All of Comcorp's shipments of building supplies last week were specially ordered. - No only five were
b. None of Comcorp's shipments sent on friday of last week was sent to Truax Construction. - Can't say that, they could have gone on Friday or Thursday
c. None of the shipments sent by Comcorp by Truax Construction last week was specially ordered. - This should be true because argument says only 5 were specially ordered and 4 received were sent to Turax none of which consisted of building supplies
d. None of Comcorp's shipments sent on thursday of last week was sent to Truax Construction. - Same as B
e. All of Comcorp's shipments of building supplies last week were sent out on thursday. - Only special ones were sent on Thursday...could be more

OA shall be C....

No shipment of building supplies were sent out on friday...
In last week - 5 specially ordered shipments of building supplies were snet on thursday
4 shipments were seNt to truax construction last week....none of them had building supplies...

1) All of Comcorp's shipments of building supplies last week were specially ordered. - 4 shipments were sent on thursday from comcorp which were not specially ordered so this is not true....

2) None of Comcorp's shipments sent on friday of last week was sent to Truax Construction this may not true ....the 4 shipments sent to truax company...one of them might have been sent on friday last week....

3) None of the shipments sent by Comcorp to Truax Construction last week was specially ordered Correct answer - coz passage states that 4 shipments were sent to truax none of which had building supplies and specially ordered shipments consisted of buildng supplies...

4) None of Comcorp's shipments sent on thursday of last week was sent to Truax Construction - It is possible that one of the four shipments sent to truax construction was sent on thursday...

5) All of Comcorp's shipments of building supplies last week were sent out on thursday- 5 specially ordered were sent on last thursday...there could have beeen building supplies which were not specially ordered and they were sent on some other day....

D

by sumank8216 » Mon Jul 27, 2009 11:22 am
D


d: correct :- all thrusday shipment were building supply and the 4 sent to traux were not buliding supply. so this implies that all 4 were sent on some other day but no on thrusday.

C:- the supplies on some other day could also be specially ordered, how can we say that none sent to traux were specially ordered?
