If Jason goes to the concert, then Beth will go. If Beth goes to the concert, then Cindy will go. If Cindy goes to the concert, then Shannon will go. Only 2 of the 4 friends went to the concert. Who were they? Explain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cindy and Shannon.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Coz if Jason goes, all 4 will go for sure. If Beth goes, then 3 will go for sure. But we know that only 2 went. Shannon going doesnt make anyone else go. Cindy going only makes Shannon go.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cindy can choose to go or not. Beth going will make her go, but she can decide to go even if Beth doesnt go.
