Question

question (logical reasoning)

Martina plays the final provided she plays the final

Answer 1

What do you think ?

Answer 2

c.)

Answer 3

Okay..any particular reason ?

Answer 4

But Martina could have played the final but just lost.

Answer 5

why not options A and B? :)

Answer 6

it is written that if she plays final she definately will win

Answer 7

The obvious one would be the question itself ;)

Martina plays the final provided she plays the final

In other words, if she played the final, she would definitely win the tournament?

Answer 8

Or in better words..she won the tournament => she played the final...

Answer 9

But if Martina won the tournament, that means she played the final.

Answer 10

there is either very out of the world reasoning included in this question or there are multiple correct answers :/

Answer 11

I think the answer to this is C.

Answer 12

Well I would like to go with B

Answer 13

Martina can play the finals, but it does not assure us that she wins it. Hence, the most acceptable logical statement here is about here not playing the tournament and losing.

Answer 14

is there any restriction here on past or present tense here for example the sentence containing past tense such as "won" should be ruled out as "win " is given in the question statement

Answer 15

Oh. Seems are answer are logically equalt @vishweshshrimali5 ? Now I think they might be both correct

Answer 16

*our

Answer 17

Well of course ... wins means that the winning act has not yet taken place... we are just stating a condition.. won means she has won the tournament (lucky girl)

Answer 18

u mean the sentences containing "won" should not be ruled out ?

Answer 19

Nopes...

Answer 20

Grammar and logic don't gel very well.. :P

Answer 22

Time to run away again.

Answer 23

He came like wind and went away like storm ;)

Answer 24

:D This seems so hard to me and my brother just comes along getting the answer correct to both the questions :'(

Answer 25

I hear for you :p But anyways, let's start ruling out the ones we know are not correct

Answer 26

Okay so we know that at least AB and AC are not correct...

Answer 27

Yes. I agree to that, because the main statement talks about winning, I think the supporting statements must agree to the main itself.

Answer 28

What question means is that judge is so fascinated by the performance of Martina that it doesn't matter whether she loses or wins final, he is going to announce her as the winner...

Answer 29

hmmm @Seratul how do u find that links

Answer 30

So, winning or losing the final is not going to affect the event of winning the tournament...

Answer 31

hahaha "provided that she plays the final" XD

Answer 32

So we can safely eliminate AB and AC... next we have CD and BA...

Now this is the one which is going to take a hard time to solve...

She did not win the tournament... => She did not play the final...

Well that should be correct.. no? After all the question did say.. as long as she plays the final, she is going to win.. so if she lost the tournament => she must not have played the final unless and until the judge changed his mind (you can NEVER trust those guys -.- (

Answer 33

BA doesn't makes sense to me as

she first need to play the final then she can win the tourney

not like

If she wins the tourney then she will play the final

Answer 34

Think of it in this way... tournament is complete... everyone has returned home... now you are just one of those analysts who always take an hour discussing what happened in the game :P

Answer 35

Now, let me give you an example... Suppose you have a tri-series... team with highest number of wins will win the series.. now if a team has won every single match till final.. it won't matter whether that team wins or loses the final as long as that team plays the final... right ?

Answer 36

yes

Answer 37

Now, if I say that the team won the tournament... what can you say about the final match?

Answer 38

The best you can come up with is that well.. they played in it :p

Answer 39

Agreed?

Answer 40

yes

Answer 41

Great! So, that's why we have the answer as BA

Answer 42

And as for why CD is not the answer... you have the statement and implication:

win tournament => play final

do not play final => do not win tournament..

So, DC would have been correct as well.. but we don't have that with us...

Answer 43

oh

Answer 44

yes u r correct

Answer 45

^that's what i meant when i said "the supporting statement must agree to the main statement itself"

Answer 46

i m dumb i need kids like explaining :D

Answer 47

i mean nursery explanations

Answer 48

It's fine... it will be a lot easier to solve these questions once you get sufficient practice... :)

Answer 49

I just search for it.
