Explanation
The question asks for books that are old, medical extracts, and have green covers.
Let's break down the categories:
- Green Covers: B, C, E, F
- Old Volumes: The "rest are old volumes" means C, E, F (since A, B, D are new).
- Medical Extracts: The "rest are medical extracts" means D, E, F (since A, B, C are law reports).
We need books that satisfy all three conditions.
- From Green Covers (B, C, E, F)
- From Old Volumes (C, E, F)
- From Medical Extracts (D, E, F)
The books common to all three lists are E and F.
- Book E: Has a green cover, is an old volume, and is a medical extract.
- Book F: Has a green cover, is an old volume, and is a medical extract.
Therefore, E and F are the two books that are old medical extracts and have green covers.
Analyzing the options: A) B and C: B is new, C is a law report. B) E and F: Both E and F fit all three criteria. This is correct. C) C and E: C is a law report. D) C and F: C is a law report.
The final answer is B.
