(i) Whenever there is a fire, the fire alarm goes off (ii) If the sprinklers do not start, the fire alarm does not go off. (iii) If the sprinklers start, an automatic alarm is set off at the fire department.

Correct Answer: Whenever there is a fire, an automatic alarm is set off in the fire department.

Explanation:

Lets eliminate options one by one-
Option A: Cannot be true since we cannot infer anything if we know that an automatic alarm is set off at the fire department.
Option B: If sprinklers do not start then the fire alarm doesn't go off. Further we cannot say anything about the automatic alarm at the fire department.
Option C: When there is a fire the fire alarm goes off so sprinklers start. Hence an automatic alarm is set off at the fire department.
Option (D) is similarly ruled out.
