Question

a) You are told that the following two statements are true: If Charlie is a student, then Charlie reads a lot. Charlie does not read a lot. Can you deduce that the following statement is true? Charlie is not a student. Justify your answer.

Answer 1

The statement 'Charlie is not a student' cannot be deduced based on the given information.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 'Charlie is not a student' cannot be deduced based on the given information.

This is because the given information only tells us that if Charlie is a student, then he reads a lot. It does not provide any information about what happens if Charlie is not a student. It is possible for Charlie to not read a lot for reasons other than not being a student.
