The Correct Option isA, D
Solution and Explanation
To solve the problem of determining which statements about the linked rings are true, we need to analyze each option in the context of logical reasoning about linked structures.
Analysis of Options:
All rings are linked to form one continuous chain: Analyzing this statement involves checking whether each ring is connected in such a way that removing any link breaks the continuity of the chain. A continuous chain implies that there is no point at which the sequence of links is broken.
One ring does not have any link: For this to be true, there should be at least one ring isolated with no connection to the others. Given the context, if all rings are part of a continuous chain, this statement cannot be true.
One ring has three links: This statement would require observation of a ring interconnected with three other rings directly. It's necessary to inspect the arrangement to count if any singular ring is involved in three separate connections.
Two rings have only one link: This implies that among the set of rings, there exist exactly two rings that connect with only one other ring, akin to endpoints of a chain or branches off a main chain.
Conclusion:
From our observations:
The statement "All rings are linked to form one continuous chain" is logically consistent if the arrangement forms an unbroken sequence of linked rings.
The statement "Two rings have only one link" is true if the overall configuration includes exactly two rings serving as terminal nodes in the linking chain, linking only once without creating disconnections in a continuous structure.
Therefore, the correct answers are the first and the fourth statements: All rings are linked to form one continuous chain, and Two rings have only one link.
