Question

question (logical reasoning)

On an island "Moola Moola"

Answer 1

Huh. This makes you really have to think...

Answer 2

It makes me wonder if Matt is the barrister, but then, how do you really know. Is this what you actually do for math? xD

Answer 3

my answer is a.) shina=profesor

Answer 4

@mathmath333 Why haven't you replied to my text?

Answer 5

hmm the text comes after few minutes its lagging

Answer 6

while i saw text u were already here

Answer 7

i need to choose one option

Answer 8

Shina aint the professor

Answer 9

all because if its so that means Peter is Jobless.... hav a look again @mathmath333

Answer 10

no each of three has one profession confirmed , no one is jobless

Answer 11

according to the context

Answer 12

tht means Shina aint a professor

Answer 13

I think what @rishavraj means is that each claimed peter isnt any of the jobs that is listed, and if those sentences were true, then he would be jobless. Not all of them can be true. I think.. I am sorta sitting here trying to figure it out.

Answer 14

I agree that Shina isn't the professor

Answer 15

So is Peter the dentist?

Answer 16

Let's say Shina is true about not being the professor, her statement on Peter would be false then, thus making him the dentist

Answer 17

i did this

\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align}
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline
peter & true & false & barrister \\ \hline
matt & false &true & doctor \\ \hline
shina & true &false & proffesor \\ \hline
\end{array}
\end{align}}\)

Answer 18

@mathmath333 still Shina aint a professor -_-

Answer 19

Peter is dentist

Answer 20

That's what I thought @rishavraj

Answer 21

how is peter dentist ???

Answer 22

even thts incorrect I think @Maddy1251

Answer 23

@mathmath333 I would go with None of these

Answer 24

ok can u pick out a fault in my table ?

Answer 25

see if Shina is prof then Peter is Dentist according to Shina's ststement

Answer 26

and then Matt's both statement would be true

Answer 27

@mathmath333 trust me go with None of these.... at ur own risk though ...lol
wht say @Maddy1251

Answer 28

I kinda have to agree with @rishavraj

Answer 29

All I can say is I am glad this isn't my homework. For once, I am glad I am in Trigonometry.

Answer 30

@Maddy1251 its a lot more fun than Trigo

Answer 31

maybe if you know what you are doing @rishavraj I look at it and it reminds me of the mind twister questions we used to do in middle school lol

Answer 32

"see if Shina is prof then Peter is Dentist according to Shina's ststement"

but according to shina's staement one must be true and other must be false

so if" im not proffesor" is false then "peter is not a dentist" must be true

Answer 33

ok now hav a look at Matt's statement ...... if Shina is Prof then both of his statements get true @mathmath333

Answer 34

@Maddy1251 lol trust me I do know wht I am doing .... sitting here being an Insomniac -_-

Answer 35

Answer 48

Expain how anyone figures 'none of the above' is the solution

Answer 49

ooo it was me ....lol xD cause none of the other were true....
so option C makes no sense......coz nothing is mentiond about tht guy Matt

Answer 50

You have to eliminate the other possibilities before reaching such conclusion

Answer 51

Answer 52

see if Shina is prof then Peter is Dentist according to Shina's statement and then Matt's both statement would be true

Answer 55

Yep, you got me.

Answer 56

Here's my attempt on it (see attached)

Answer 57

@jim_thompson5910 whts ur answer ???

Answer 58

look at the attached text document I posted

I conclude in case A that

Peter = barrister
Shina = professor
Matt = dentist

Answer 59

see Shina cant be professor ......

Answer 60

why not?

Answer 61

here @jim_thompson5910

Answer 62

I don't see any contradictions

If Shina is the prof, then Matt's second statement is true. So his first statement must be false. Therefore `peter is not barrister` is false making peter the barrister

If Shina is the prof, then shina's second statement is false since shina claims s/he's not the prof. So the first statement of shina's is true, making peter not a dentist (peter is actually a barrister)

---------------------------------------------

why would that make both of matt's statements true?

Answer 63

see if Shina is a prof ....means Peter is a dentist .... get tht??

Answer 64

how are you getting that?

Answer 65

@mathmath333 you are correct on your first attempt. The answer is definitely `A) Shina is the professor`

Answer 66

ooo yeahh I think the same now .....Lagging internet ....
I didnt notice the "not" in the 2nd statement of Shina ..... really I did a blunder ....
sorry @jim_thompson5910 @mathmath333

Answer 67

ok i think that option a.) is correct after analyzing, but in the book answer d.) none of this was given hence I was unsure.
