Question

Six books are labelled A, B, C, D, E and F and are placed side by side. Books B, C, E and F have green covers while others have yellow covers. Books A, B and D are new while the rest are old volumes. Books A, Band Care law reports while the rest are medical extracts.

Which two books are old medical extracts and have green covers?

Accepted Answer

The question asks for books that are old, medical extracts, and have green covers.

Let's break down the categories:
1.  Green Covers: B, C, E, F
2.  Old Volumes: The "rest are old volumes" means C, E, F (since A, B, D are new).
3.  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.
