Question

Which of the statements is/are TRUE about the FIVE symbols given below? 

• A. All are musical notes.
• B. Two are not musical notes.
• C. Only one is not a musical note.
• D. At least three are musical notes.

Hint:

Clefs and accidentals are musical symbols but not notes. Count only the symbols that represent pitches/rhythms (noteheads with stems/flags) as notes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B, D

Identify each symbol:
A and E are note symbols (noteheads with stems).
B is the bass clef (not a note).
C is the flat sign (an accidental, not a note).
D is the treble clef (not a note).
Thus exactly three of the five are musical notes and two are not.
So statements (B) “Two are not musical notes” and (D) “At least three are musical notes” are true, while (A) and (C) are false.
