There are six books A, B, C, D, E and F. B, C and E have blue covers while the rest have red covers. D and F are new books while the rest are old books. A, C and D are law reports while the rest are of physics. Which is the red-covered new law report book?
  1. a.A
  2. b.B
  3. c.C
  4. d.D

Answer: (D) D

Red covers: A, D, F (since B, C, E are blue). New books: D, F. Law reports: A, C, D. The only book common to all three lists is D. Similarly, the red new physics book would be F and the blue old law report would be C - a small table of the six books against the three properties answers any such question.
