@All.
Please listen; In the option A, most people think not rich = poor, that is the main mistake.
Don't think of the meaning, just take them as categories. Two categories are Poor and Not Rich. And A is beggar, then he belongs in the category of poor.
Statement A classifies A as "Not Rich", which is not the same as "Poor".
Hence, D is the Correct option.

Negation(~).
~(a->b)= ~b->~a.
All beggars are poor can be rewritten as 'if A is a Beggar, A is poor'.
On applying negation, we get;
If A is not poor, A is not a Beggar. which can be written as If A is rich, A is not a beggar.
~(a->b)= ~b->~a.
All beggars are poor can be rewritten as 'if A is a Beggar, A is poor'.
On applying negation, we get;
If A is not poor, A is not a Beggar. which can be written as If A is rich, A is not a beggar.

The statement tells us nothing about the rich being beggars or not. So, D isn't correct.
A is correct cause it follows directly from the statement.
As long as anyone is a beggar, they are not rich.

A is better option as it can be directly concluded from the question.

I think that A is more closer than D. So the correct answer will be A.

The statement says "All beggars are poor", which means if A is a beggar, he is a poor guy.
Hence option A holds true. Option D holds true as well because if someone is rich, he cannot be a beggar.
Either A or D needs to be removed so that those who are applying for this test in the future does not face the same problem and get disheartened.

The answer should be A.
As the statement talks about beggars being poor and not the other way around.

A and D both are right answers in this scenario.

'A' will be correct when there are only two class of people Rich and Poor. In that case not rich implies poor.
But if there are more than two class you then you can't imply that not rich is poor.
'D' is correct and invariant with the number of class.
