CR- Main street

Original IMO:B
Revised IMO:C
Second revised IMO: B again (After tohellandback's revelation)

Possible scenarios are

a. All are red. No green
b. All are green. No red
c. Some are red. Some are green

I: Correct because of a above
II: Correct because it is the contrapositive of the first statement of the argument
III: Incorrect. False contrapositive

OA please!!

Cheers!!

OA is "C"....

IMO B,
How can I be true. The awnings can either be red or green. Now it is possible that all of them are red. so It is not a MUST that some awnings are green

Sorry guys, there was a silly mistake in the inferences drwan above although the logic is correct. Have rectified the error.

Confirmed answer C

tohellandback: Please refer to possible scenarios in the post above for why Fact I is correct.

Cheers!!!

turbo jet,
I still think I is false. The awnings can either be red or green. What if all the awnings are red. Now it is not a MUST that some awnings are green.
so I is not necessarily true

googled on this question, the OA is given to be B in other forums

Correct tohellandback,

I agree with your logic.
My thinking cells are back in action again I guess!!!

Thx for the new revelation.

Forum members please throw some more light on on Option I validity.

Cheers!!

Hi kenen,

Could you please confirm ur answer.
Thnks

TJ

The answer most definitely CANNOT be C. Here's why:

All the prompt states is that all houses on main street have awnings, each of which are EITHER green or red.

Look at the following diagram (each x is a house). Suppose that there are 3 houses on main street:

X X X
red red red

Does this main street satisfy the three requirements:

Each house has an awning (yes)
Each house has either a green or red awning (yes)

But oh no! There aren't any green awnings! So, I cannot be correct.

However, choice II is correct because of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrapositive.

B seems to be the best choice here
