Deductions from Fact 1 (4 children) and Fact 3 (half are girls) prove that there must be 2 boys. Statement I (at least one girl has blue eyes) and Statement III (the boys have brown eyes) cannot be definitively proven true or false based on the given facts about the total number of blue/brown eyed children (Fact 2), as the distribution of eye color among boys and girls is not specified.
The logic problems in this set (20 – 24) present you with three true statements: Fact 1, Fact 2 and Fact 3. Then you are given three more statements (labelled I, II and III), and you must determine which of these, if any, is also a fact. One or two of the statements could be true; all of the statements could be true; or none of the statements could be true. Fact 1 : Jessica has four children. Fact 2 : Two of the children have blue eyes and two of the children have brown eyes. Fact 3 : Half of the children are girls. If the first three statements are facts, which of the following statement/(s) must also be a fact ? I. At least one girl has blue eyes. II. Two of the children are boys. III. The boys have brown eyes. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
