A is correct because the statement says all beggars are poor. So if A is a beggar, then he has to be poor. Then he is not rich.
Similarly, D is correct because it means rich people cannot be beggars. As the original statement is that all beggars are poor, it follows that all poor may not be beggars, but no rich person can be a beggar. Therefore, D is correct.
Therefore answers A as well as D are correct.

You should go with option A. It is much close to the logical deduction. If you choose option D it is then theory of induction, which takes longer time. Option A is direct derivative so it takes less time.

Why not the option A? Since A is directly conclude from question.

A justification for saying that D - and not A - is the correct answer is that A is simply a rewording of the original statement. D, on the other hand, is an actual substantively different statement that follows from the original statement.

'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.

A and D both are right answers in this scenario.

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

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.

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