Question 1
Given these logical premises:
• If it's Monday, then school is open
• If school is open, then buses run
• Buses are not running
Which statement must be true?
This requires multi-step logical deduction:
• If it's Monday, then school is open
• If school is open, then buses run
• Buses are not running
Applying logical rules (modus ponens, modus tollens, contrapositive, transitive property, quantifier logic), we can conclude: It's not Monday
• If it's Monday, then school is open
• If school is open, then buses run
• Buses are not running
Applying logical rules (modus ponens, modus tollens, contrapositive, transitive property, quantifier logic), we can conclude: It's not Monday
