Comprehension
The cars at dealership come with a choice of the following options: air conditioning, a cassette deck, leather seats, power windows, a sunroof and tinted glass. None of the cars has any other optional equipment. The following conditions apply:
If a car has leather seats, it also has a cassette deck. If car has a cassette deck, it also has power windows; If a car has power windows, it also has cassette deck.
Cars with tinted glass have a sunroof, but no air-conditioning. Cars that have air-conditioning have at most two other options.
Question: 1

If a car has both tinted glass and leather seats, what is the greatest number of additional options that the car could have?

Show Hint

List all forced options from the given features, then count remaining permissible features considering all constraints.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

From the rules: 1. **Leather seats** ⇒ cassette deck. 2. **Cassette deck** ⇒ power windows. 3. **Tinted glass** ⇒ sunroof, but no air-conditioning. 4. **Air-conditioning** ⇒ at most two other options (irrelevant here because no AC is allowed with tinted glass). If the car has tinted glass + leather seats: - Tinted glass ⇒ sunroof (and no AC). - Leather seats ⇒ cassette deck ⇒ power windows. So these fixed options are already present: \[ \{\text{tinted glass}, \text{leather seats}, \text{sunroof}, \text{cassette deck}, \text{power windows}\} \] That’s 5 features fixed. Other possible options from the list might still be chosen provided they don’t violate rules — and without AC restriction applying, we can add up to **3** more from whatever remains in the full set of available options. Thus, the **greatest number** of *additional* options possible = \(\boxed{3}\).

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Option (D) fits rules: - Tinted glass ⇒ sunroof, no AC — satisfied.
- Cassette deck ⇒ power windows — satisfied.
- No contradictions with leather seat/cassette rule.
Other options break rules:
(A) AC with 7gt; 2 others not possible.
(B) Tinted glass missing for sunroof rule.
(C) Leather seats ⇒ cassette deck ⇒ power windows — missing PW here.
Thus only (D) works.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Power windows ⇒ cassette deck.
Sunroof can come with tinted glass (no AC) or independently.
We list possibilities adding extra allowed items (respecting AC restriction if AC present). The maximum distinct sets possible = 4 by combining allowed options without breaking constraints.

Question: 4

If a car has exactly two options, which one of the following could they be?

Show Hint

Check if an option triggers a chain reaction adding other items — it can break “exactly two” conditions.
Updated On: Jul 29, 2025
  • air-conditioning and cassette deck
  • tinted glass and sunroof
  • cassette deck and leather seats
  • power windows and sunroof

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Tinted glass ⇒ sunroof (rule), so both can exist without forcing other items. Other options fail: (A) AC + cassette deck implies power windows (breaks “exactly two”).
(C) Leather seats ⇒ cassette deck ⇒ power windows (more than 2).
(D) Power windows ⇒ cassette deck (more than 2).
Thus only (B) possible.

Question: 5

If a car has tinted glass, which one of the following CANNOT be true?

Show Hint

When a rule forces a chain of additions, minimum or maximum counts can make certain option counts impossible.
Updated On: Jul 29, 2025
  • The car has 3 options.
  • The car has 4 options.
  • The car has power windows and a sunroof.
  • The car does not have both leather seats and a cassette deck.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Tinted glass ⇒ sunroof, no AC. Minimum set: tinted glass + sunroof (2 options). Adding any other obeying rules pushes count to ≥ 4. Thus exactly 3 options is impossible.
