Which ordered pair is correct?
Statements:
P. I visited Kerala
Q. I did not get addicted to the natural beauty of Kerala
R. I got addicted to the natural beauty of Kerala
S. I did not visit Kerala
Which ordered pair is correct?
- QS
- SQ
- RP
- PQ
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - QS
If you visit, you become addicted. The valid pairs are "visited, so addicted" (P then R) and the contrapositive "not addicted, so did not visit" (Q then S). Of the options only QS is valid; SQ denies the antecedent, RP affirms the consequent, and PQ contradicts the main statement.
