Zorluk: OrtaMust Be True Questions

Any employee of Zenith Corporation who accesses the secure data server must possess a Level 4 security clearance. Only employees who work in either the engineering division or the executive branch possess a Level 4 security clearance. All employees in the executive branch are strictly required to submit a comprehensive weekly audit report. At least some employees in the engineering division are not required to submit a weekly audit report. Marcus is a Zenith Corporation employee who recently accessed the secure data server, but he is not required to submit a weekly audit report.

Based on the information above, Marcus must work in the engineering division.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

True
The statement is true because the premises provide a strict chain of logical conditions that force Marcus into the engineering division. By accessing the server, he acquires the necessary condition of holding a Level 4 clearance. This clearance acts as a sufficient condition to place him in either the engineering or executive groups. His lack of a reporting requirement mathematically eliminates the executive branch, leaving the engineering division as the only logically valid conclusion.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine Marcus's clearance level based on his actions.
Marcus must have a Level 4 clearance.
The stimulus states that any employee who accesses the secure data server must possess Level 4 clearance, and Marcus accessed the server.

Marcus must work in either the engineering division or the executive branch.
The stimulus states that only employees in the engineering division or executive branch possess Level 4 clearance.
3
Determine if Marcus can belong to the executive branch.
Marcus cannot be in the executive branch.
All executive branch employees must submit a weekly audit report. Marcus is not required to submit one, so by contrapositive, he is not in the executive branch.

Conclude Marcus's division based on the remaining possibilities.
Marcus must be in the engineering division.
Since he must be in either engineering or executive, and he is not in executive, he must be in engineering.
