Need some help with a \"discrete Math\" logic problem:
A mathematician tells her son, \"I will give you $100 only if you pass the class.\" Being a mathematician, she means exactly what she said.
Which ones below are the true statements about this situation?
a. If she didn\'t pay him $100, that means he didn\'t pass the class.
b. Her statement defined passing the class as a sufficient condition for receiving the $100.
c. If he passes the class, she may pay him $100.
d. Her statement defined passing the class as a necessary condition for receiving the $100.
e. If she ended up paying him $100, he must have passed the class.
f. If he passes the class, she will pay him $100.
g. He will not get the $100 unless he passes the class.
h. If he doesn\'t pass the class, she will definitely not pay him $100.
Solution
I will give you $100 only if you pass the class.
In this statement there is condition that \"only if\" you pass the class then I\'ll pay you.
True statements are:- (b) Her statement defined passing the class as a sufficient condition for receiving the $100.
(f) If he passes the class, she will pay him $100.
(g) He will not get the $100 unless he passes the class.
(h) If he doesn\'t pass the class, she will definitely not pay him $100.
