Logical deduction – simple conditional: "If you propose to the government, it will relent." Identify the valid pair. (i) Amit proposed to the government. (ii) Amit relented. (iii) Government relented. (iv) Government did not relent.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: (i) (iii)

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Let P = "propose to the government" and R = "government relents." The statement is P ⇒ R.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • If P happens, R must happen.


Concept / Approach:
We need a pair where P co-occurs with R. (i) (iii) expresses precisely that.



Step-by-Step Solution:

From (i) P is true.Therefore (iii) must be true.


Verification / Alternative check:
Pairs involving not-relent contradict the rule if P is asserted.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
(iii) (i) flips order. (iv) (ii) and (ii) (iv) are irrelevant or contradictory.



Common Pitfalls:
Attaching "Amit relented" to the agent; the statement concerns the government.



Final Answer:
(i) (iii)
