Answer:

So both the statements (1) and (3) contradict each other.

Explanation:

There are 3 statements in the given question.

(1) John, Elizabeth and Franco read 27 books among them for a class.

It means on an average
[(27)/(3)=9]^(9) books were read by each student.

(2) Franco read 6 books

(3) None of them read more than 7 books.

But by statement (1) every student read average 9 books.

So both the statements (1) and (3) contradict each other.
