A
Statement Analysis: Seoul Residency
Statement: Only rich people live in Seoul. Kim lives in Seoul.
Conclusions:
- i) Kim must be rich.
- ii) Kim leads a happy life.
Reasoning: Deductive Logic
The phrase "Only rich people live in Seoul" establishes a condition: If someone lives in Seoul, then they must be rich. This is a universal statement about Seoul residents.
We are given the fact that "Kim lives in Seoul".
Applying the condition to the fact:
- Conclusion i: Kim must be rich. Since Kim lives in Seoul and everyone in Seoul is rich, this conclusion logically follows. (Valid)
- Conclusion ii: Kim leads a happy life. The statement makes no connection between living in Seoul or being rich, and leading a happy life. This conclusion cannot be inferred. (Invalid)
Conclusion Follows
Only conclusion i is logically derived from the statement.
This matches option (A).
