OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not understand your question.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`Either A or B` is equivalent to saying `If not A, then B` `Either A or B` is equivalent to saying `If not B, then A`

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

At least one of them A and B should be correct in case of either thing

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

b.) is my choice

OpenStudy (seratul):

B is the only one that makes sense.

OpenStudy (seratul):

I agree, none of the other make sense o.O

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

lol but in book answer given is a.)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

@Seratul please check ur link

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`Shravan is sick` implies `Shravan is not sick` makes no sense

OpenStudy (seratul):

My link says it is B as well.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

screen shot ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I agree he's not stoned, so that means he must be sick

OpenStudy (seratul):

What you don't trust me :P

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Yeah, this is B

OpenStudy (yttrium):

That's the only one that makes sense, really

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

:D :D :D

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

@jim_thompson5910 do u agree with option b.) just for assurance

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes I agree. It fits the format I posted earlier

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Umm guys ... just a quick question.. is a stoned person also considered to be sick ?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

I think it will confuse us if there is an option E.) BC

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

stoned person must not be sick

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Well that's good for Shravan then :P

OpenStudy (yttrium):

unless he is already sick and yet he get stoned ^_^

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

@vishweshshrimali5 r u saying option b.) is incorrect ?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Naah... haven't read the question yet :P

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

ok i will go with b.)

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

I think AD can be correct but not DA becuase if shravan is not stoned he can be many other things (like dying, sleeping or sick)

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

they have given us the condition for IF P is 1 then Q is 0 doesn't mean that If Q is 0 then P is 1

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

C is correct, I think considering there is OR gate operator if both events are true, the statement remains true
