Seven books P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are placed side by side. R, Q and T have blue covers and other books have red covers. Only S and U are new books and the rest are old. P, R and S are law reports; the rest are Gazetteers. Books of old Gazetteers with blue covers are
- A.Q and R
- B.Q and U
- C.Q and T
- D.T and U
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: C. Q and T
The question asks to identify books that are old, have Gazetteers as their type, and possess blue covers. Let's analyze the conditions: Books with blue covers are R, Q, and T. Books that are old are P, R, Q, T, and V. Books that are Gazetteers are Q, T, U, and V. Intersecting these criteria (old AND blue cover AND Gazetteer) leads us to Q and T.
