@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.

Answer A is directly connected to the given statement. So it is A.

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 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.
