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.

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:

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)
