问题 单项选择题

有M、N、O、P4个朋友,他们分别是音乐家、科学家、天文学家和逻辑学家。在少年时代,他们曾经在一起对未来做过预测,当时,M预测说:无论如何也成不了科学家。N预测说:O将来要做逻辑学家。O预测说:P不会成为音乐家。P预测说:N成不了天文学家。
事实上,只有逻辑学家一个人预测对了。那么,这4位朋友都是什么“家”呢( )

A.M是逻辑学家,N是天文学家,O是科学家,P是音乐家
B.N是逻辑学家,P是天文学家,M是科学家,O是音乐家
C.O是逻辑学家,M是天文学家,P是科学家,N是音乐家
D.P是逻辑学家,O是天文学家,N是科学家,M是音乐家

答案

参考答案:A

解析: 假设M是逻辑学家,则其余3个人的预测都是错的。由于O预测P不会成为音乐家,则P为音乐家;由于P预测N成不了天文学家,则N为天文学家;于是O只能是科学家,这时正好N的预测也是错的,这与题干完全相符。故选A。
