hintHint:

Reasoning is drawing conclusions using statements and pictures. There are two types of reasonings they are deductive and inductive. In deductive reasoning we use facts, definitions and postulates to draw a conclusion. There are two laws under deductive reasoning they are Law of Detachment and Law of Syllogism. Here, we have to determine whether the drawn conclusion in the question is correct or not.

The correct answer is: Insufficient Information


    In the question it is given that,
    The Large Silver Watch states the time as 15:50.
    The Small Silver Watch displays, the same time as the Gold Watch.
    The Bronze Watch is small in size.
    The Gold Watch is ten minutes slower than the Large Silver Watch.
    The Bronze Watch is five minutes faster than the Small Silver Watch.
    The Bronze clock is the same size as the Gold Clock.
    Here, we have to find whether the given statement is true or false.
    From the given question we can say that,
    a. Line 3 state that the bronze clock is small in size.
    b. Even though line 1 talks of a large silver clock, line 2 talks of a small silver clock.
    The ambiguity of the statement, referring simply to a silver clock, means we cannot assess whether it is the large or the small one.
    Therefore, this is insufficient information.
