Question

question (logical reasoning)

Only in Africa u can see the African elephant .

Answer 1

any thoughts?

Answer 2

in my opinion answer shud be b.)

Answer 3

Let's give it a shot :D Since, we are mentioning that ONLY in africa there are elephants it means two things:

1. In Africa, I saw elephants
2. In any other place, I didn't saw elephant

Answer 4

if i didn't see an African elephant doesn't imply that i didn't go to africa

well i might go to africa and come back without watching the african elephant :)

Answer 5

acording to qostion, if i go to africa , i will watch elephant

Answer 6

As @imqwerty said, if you didn't see the elephants that implies two things:


1. You didn't go to Africa
2. You went to Africa but unfortunately the elephants were having lunch and were not free to have an encounter with you ? ;)

Answer 7

its given-
"only in africa, can you see the african elephant"

this is not implying that you "will" see the african elephant every time you go there =]

Answer 8

ok if i trust the above 2 statements what will be the correct option

Answer 9

But if I were to go to Africa, I must have seen the elephant :3... Unless if I didn't go...

Answer 10

if you go to africa then it might happen that u see the elephants
or it might be that u don't

so you can't really comment that u saw them or not
so options A and C are not correct as the 2nd statement of both of them cannot be logically interpreted

Answer 11

Original: If you saw an African elephant, you went to Africa

contrapositve: if you didn't go to Africa, then you didn't see an african elephant

Answer 12

just for fun :)

Answer 13

Answer 14

Clap ^

Answer 15

So the answer should be BD...

AC means:

1. There are African elephants in Africa..
2. No idea whether there are African elephants in other places...

DB means:

1. There are no African elephants at all the places you visited...
2. Africa may be one of those places too... so not the right option

AD means:

1. Africa has elephants??? Well, I didn't get to see one... So how can I be sure?

Thus, BD is correct

Answer 16

but if i didnt see the elephant then i must hav not visited africa so option b.) should be correct

Answer 17

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

Wait a minute let me give it a try

Answer 20

@mathmath333 think of it in this way...

Suppose you love a type of burger of one particular shop... Let's say McD's burger... now you went to McD to purchase the burger but sadly they were out of stock.. does that mean McD doesn't produce those burgers?

Answer 21

no

Answer 22

I think you are correct. @mathmath333

Answer 23

Exactly! So even if you didn't get to see an Elephant in Africa doesn't mean that there are no elephants in Africa... it only means that at that particular moment there were none (at least for you)

Answer 24

ok i will go with d.) :) as

p->q
~q->~p

Answer 25

Claps for @vishweshshrimali5

Answer 26

yes it's choice D

`you didn't go to Africa` implies `you didn't see an African elephant`

pictures or videos of elephants don't count

and @vishweshshrimali5 has a good way to state it. You could have gone to a place where there were no elephants

Answer 27

Thanks thanks :)

Answer 28

sorry I meant to say "You could have gone to a place in Africa where there were no elephants"
