Question and options

Examine the following statements:
(1) Processed meat is perishable food
(2) All perishable foods are packed in sealed tins
(3) Sealed tins sometimes do not contain processed meat
Which one of the following inferences can be drawn from the given statements?
  1. Sealed tins always contain perishable food
  2. Processed meat is sometimes not packed in sealed tins
  3. Processed meat is always packed in sealed tins
  4. Non perishable food are never packed in sealed tins

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - Processed meat is always packed in sealed tins
Processed meat is perishable (1), and all perishable foods are packed in sealed tins (2), so processed meat is always packed in sealed tins. Nothing says sealed tins always contain perishable food, 'processed meat is sometimes not packed in sealed tins' contradicts (1) and (2), and the statements say nothing about where non-perishable food is packed.
