Zorluk: OrtaMust Be True / Most Strongly Supported

Under regional airspace management guidelines, any aerial survey platform operating in the coastal estuary that is equipped with lidar bathymetry is subject to automated transponder logging. No aerial survey platform subject to automated transponder logging is certified for low-altitude wildlife sanctuary flyovers. Every survey platform operated by the state marine research unit is equipped with lidar bathymetry, and at least some survey platforms operated by the state marine research unit are certified for low-altitude wildlife sanctuary flyovers.

If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true?

  1. A
    Any aerial survey platform equipped with lidar bathymetry that does not operate in the coastal estuary is certified for low-altitude wildlife sanctuary flyovers.
  2. B
    No aerial survey platform equipped with lidar bathymetry is permitted to operate in the coastal estuary.
  3. At least some survey platforms operated by the state marine research unit do not operate in the coastal estuary.Cevap
  4. D
    Automated transponder logging is required only for aerial survey platforms that are operated by the state marine research unit.
  5. E
    Most aerial survey platforms certified for low-altitude wildlife sanctuary flyovers are operated by the state marine research unit.

Cevap

At least some survey platforms operated by the state marine research unit do not operate in the coastal estuary.
The deduction is logically airtight: platforms operated by the state marine research unit that possess flyover certification cannot be subject to transponder logging. Because operating in the coastal estuary with lidar triggers mandatory logging, and all state platforms possess lidar, any certified state platform must not be operating in the coastal estuary.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the overlap among state marine research unit platforms
There exists at least one state marine research unit platform that is both equipped with lidar bathymetry and certified for low-altitude wildlife sanctuary flyovers.
The stimulus states that all state unit platforms have lidar bathymetry, and some are certified for low-altitude sanctuary flyovers.
2
Apply the rule regarding sanctuary flyovers and transponder logging
These certified state unit platforms are not subject to automated transponder logging.
The rule states that no platform subject to automated transponder logging is certified for low-altitude flyovers, so having the certification guarantees that the platform is not subject to logging.
3
Apply the contrapositive of the coastal estuary operating condition
Because these platforms have lidar bathymetry but are not subject to transponder logging, they cannot be operating in the coastal estuary.
Operating in the estuary while having lidar requires transponder logging; therefore, lacking transponder logging while possessing lidar guarantees not operating in the coastal estuary.
