Logic questions!

I need to know if this is a real or apparent argument.

A: I saw Bob with Mary last night.
B: You saw Frank, Bob's identical twin, with Marsha last night.

Also, I need to know if these statements are consistent or inconsistent.
(A and B are two different people)

A: I think Ian is at the tea house.
B: You know very well that Ian is not at the tea house.

Thanks!

Re: Logic questions!

Both Scenarios seem consistent to me because Marsha and Mary could have been in
two different cabins beside one another and Ian could have changed his plans
at the last minute without telling us.
