Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: (iv) (i)
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The rule is ¬Rain → Dance (if it is not raining, peacocks dance).
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
The safest consistent pair is to assert the condition and its guaranteed outcome: not raining and dancing.
Step-by-Step Solution:
(iv) It is not raining; (i) Peacocks are dancing → consistent with ¬Rain → Dance.
Verification / Alternative check:
Pairs involving (ii) “It is raining” with dancing are not ruled out by the rule but do not follow from it; the test typically wants the direct cause→effect match.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They either state unrelated or potentially contradictory facts given the intended direction of implication.
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing “when” with biconditional (“if and only if”).
Final Answer:
(iv) (i)
