Just like I mentioned in this Questions https://gmatclub.com/forum/ethics-board-member-all-actions-that-are-permissible-under-the-code-of-ethics-are-also-426633.html#p3374999

Reiterating the solution:

If x is a square, then x is a rectangle,
or we can say
squares are rectangle or
All squares are rectangle
if A(x)--->B(x),
here we are witnessing conditional statements (If X then Y) i.e,
Being a square is sufficient condition to conclude that x is a rectangle,
but if x is a rectangle we can not surely say that it is a square.(as all rectangle are not squares but all squares are rectangle) (This counts as necessary condition)

so we can say,
being A(x) is sufficient condition for B(x),
and B(x) is necessary condition for A(x).

now coming to the question we can see the Question Stem is starting from If and just after that there is "then", it means we are dealing here with conditional statements.
On rereading the argument we can see;

Thus, if a Company X employee has conceived of an idea or invention .......in any manner to Company X's business, (we can assume then here) that invention is owned by Company X.

Now we can see a clear If and then condition,
Hence
Company X employe' Invention (In any manner) (Let us name this A(x))---> Owned by Company X (B(x)).

Now we just have to link this relation in options;
As we derive A(x) is sufficient condition for B(x),
we can say Using the Company's Computer is sufficient for company to claim that it is owned by Company.

Feel Free to Connect.
I am also struggling but making new ways for DI questions.­

Re: At Company X, a new firm which is at present devoted entirely to the d [#permalink]
I have doubt with this question -
While I agree that the solution for 1 makes sense but I want to understand why this option is wrong - "the company has plans to expand into publishing."

Using this statement from the question prompt -"Any idea or invention conceived of by employees that is related to Company X’s past, present, or future business is owned exclusively by Company X, not the individual employee. " - can I not infer that if the company 's future plan is to expand in publishing then the company as per the stated policy owns the novel?

Please could someone explain?
