Question

A statement/group of statements is given followed by some conclusions. Without resolving anything yourself, choose the conclusion which logically follows from the given statement. Statement: Many business offices are located in buildings having two to eight floors. If a building has more than three floors, it has a lift.
Conclusions:
(a) All floors may be reached by lifts.
(b) Only floors above the third floor have lifts.
(c) Seventh floors have lifts.
(d) Second floors do not have lifts.

• (a)
• (b)
• (c)
• (a) & (d)
• (c) & (d)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Logical deduction from conditional statements.
Step 1: Understand statement.
If number of floors $> 3$ $\Rightarrow$ building has lift.
Step 2: Analyze conclusions.

• (a) Not definite $\Rightarrow$ says ``may'' $\Rightarrow$ cannot be concluded logically
• (b) Incorrect $\Rightarrow$ lift is for building, not restricted to specific floors
• (c) Seventh floor implies building has more than 3 floors $\Rightarrow$ lift present \checkmark
• (d) Incorrect $\Rightarrow$ nothing is stated about second floor lacking lift

Step 3: Final conclusion.
Only conclusion (c) logically follows.
Step 4: Final answer.
Thus, option (C).
