Logic consistency (exclusive alternative implied): Statement: “Madhu either runs or walks.” Select the pair that is most consistent with the intended meaning. (i) Madhu runs. (ii) Madhu walks. (iii) Madhu does not run. (iv) Madhu does not walk.

Introduction / Context:
“Either … or …” is typically read as an exclusive alternative in reasoning puzzles unless otherwise specified.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Exactly one of {runs, walks} is true.

Concept / Approach:
The combination “does not run” and “walks” satisfies exclusivity.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Pick (iii) (ii): not run, and walks.

Verification / Alternative check:
(i)(ii) asserts both true, contradicting exclusivity; (iii)(iv) asserts both false, also contradicting “either.”

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They violate exclusive-or or create contradictions.

Common Pitfalls:
Reading “either … or …” as inclusive.

Final Answer:
(iii) (ii)
