What book has the solution in it?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Drupady [299]1 year ago

Answer:

Book 3

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have four statements:

1: Book 1 or Book 2

2: Book 3 or Book 4

3: Book 4

4: Not Book 3

We also have the condition that only 1 of the statements are correct, and more important, the other 3 are incorrect.

So it may be a bit difficult to see at first, but the solution, has to be book 3. The reason for this is if we assume statement 1, statement 2, or statement 3 is true, that would imply that the statement 4 is false, meaning the solution is in book 3.

If we assume that statement 2 is true, then statement 4 is false, meaning that book 3 has the solution, which aligns statement 2. It also aligns with statement 1 being false, because it's not book 1 or 2, and it also aligns with statement 3 being false, because the solution is not in book 4.

Let's look at why assuming any other statement to be true, leads to contradictions.

So let's assume the first statement is true, this means the solution is book 1 or 2. But this means the statement 4 is false, meaning book 3 has the solution. This contradicts the first statement which we assume is true, thus the first statement is not true.

Let's now assume the third statement is true, this means statement four is false meaning it's book 3, but this contradicts the third statement which says it's book 4. Thus this statement cannot be true

Let's assume the last option is true, this means book 3 has no solution, and since all the other are false, book 4 has no solution, book 3 or 4 has  no solution, book 1 or 2 has no solution either. This means that none of the books have solutions, and assuming one of the books does have a solution, this statement cannot be true.

babymother [125]

Answer:

Your question was a bit confusing so I found another related question. You can reference it with your own details.

A vendor bought 10 dozen eggs at the rate of Rs 22 per dozen. Six of the eggs were rotten. He sold the remaining eggs at the rate of Rs 2.50 per egg . Find his profit or loss

Vendor bought 10 dozen eggs which means the vendor bought:

= 10 * 12 eggs

= 120 eggs

6 were rotten and he sold the rest for Rs. 2.50 per egg.

= (120 - 6) * 2.5

= Rs. 285

The amount he spent on the eggs was:

= 10 dozen * 22

= Rs. 220

Profit = 285 - 220

= Rs. 65
