Six books A, B, C, D, E and F are placed side by side. B, C and E have blue cover and the other books have red cover. Only D and F are new books and the rest are old. A, C and D are law reports and others are Gazetteers. What book is a new law report with a red colour?
- AA
- BB
- CC
- DDCorrect
Explanation
To find the correct book, we need to match three specific criteria: it must be a law report, it must be a new book, and it must have a red cover.
First, identify the law reports. The problem states that A, C, and D are law reports.
Second, identify which of these are new. The problem states that only D and F are new books. Comparing this to our list of law reports, only book D is both a law report and a new book.
Third, verify the color. Books B, C, and E have blue covers, which means books A, D, and F have red covers. Book D fits this criteria as well.
Therefore, Book D is the only book that is a new law report with a red cover.
