Student X: I’m worried about failing the course.
Student Y: Don’t worry. As the professor said, any student who fails to submit a term paper will fail the course. So just make sure that you submit a term paper, and you will not fail the course.
Which one of the following exhibits the same logical flaw as that exhibited in student Y’s remark?
(A) Any restaurant that serves paella without saffron is not authentic. So if the restaurant serves paella with turmeric instead of saffron, it is authentic.
(B) Any native fishers who earn their livings by fishing the local rivers and lakes are worth hiring as guides. So a person who is a native fisher is worth hiring as a guide.
(C) Anyone who can consistently bowl over 200 points per game should become a professional bowler. If you can consistently bowl over 200 points per game, you should become a professional bowler.
(D) Any engineer who cannot solve the equation in a reasonable amount of time will not get a license. So if you are an engineer who can solve the equation in a reasonable amount of time, you will get a license.
(E) Any cook who is in a hot kitchen will leave the kitchen. If you are a cook in a kitchen that is hot, you will be forced to leave the kitchen.

I think answer is "d". As in argument their is surity that I will pass ....not possibility so on that basis we can eliminate choices.
Also in premise we have failure but in conclusion we have " not fail" ...so this type of reasoning is mentioned in option d.

D is correct for the reason that engineer might not be able to solve within the stipulated time but if you can then you can get the license.
IMO Answer D.
