Main Statement is followed by four Statements labelled P, Q, R and S. Choose the ordered pair of the Statements where the first Statement implies the second, and the two Statements are logically consistent with the Main Statement.
Main Statement: Pradeep becomes either a Director or a Producer.
Statement P: Pradeep is a Director.
Statement Q: Pradeep is a Producer.
Statement R: Pradeep is not a Director.
Statement S: Pradeep is not a Producer.
Select the correct answer.
SP only
RQ only
Both SP and RQ
Neither SP nor RQ
Solution
The main statement means Pradeep is exactly one of Director or Producer. For SP: if Pradeep is not a Producer (S), then he must be a Director (P) - valid and consistent. For RQ: if Pradeep is not a Director (R), then he must be a Producer (Q) - valid and consistent. Hence both SP and RQ are correct.
