3. None of the three students read more than 7 books.

Which two statements contradict each other?

anonymous · Answer

1 and 3

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, because if none of the three students read more than 7 books, then 27 would be false. It would at the most be 21 books. So statements 1 & 3 contradict each other.

anonymous · Answer

Since the three of them read 27 books they need to have read more than 7 since (3 * 7) is only 21... they would each have to read 9
