Zorluk: OrtaStatement and Conclusions or Inferences

Read the given statements and determine which of the conclusions can be logically drawn from them.

Statement I: The revised municipal building code dictates that any commercial complex completed after 2025 must incorporate a rainwater harvesting system to secure a final occupancy permit.
Statement II: The Horizon Tower is a commercial complex completed in early 2026, and it currently holds an active final occupancy permit.

Conclusion I: A rainwater harvesting system is incorporated in the Horizon Tower.
Conclusion II: Commercial complexes completed in or before 2025 are barred from incorporating rainwater harvesting systems.

Which of the following alternatives correctly evaluates the given conclusions?

  1. Only Conclusion I logically followsCevap
  2. B
    Only Conclusion II logically follows
  3. C
    Both Conclusion I and Conclusion II logically follow
  4. D
    Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II logically follows

Cevap

Only Conclusion I logically follows
Conclusion I is a definitive logical deduction. Statement I creates a mandatory condition: commercial complexes completed after 2025 must have a rainwater harvesting system to get a final occupancy permit. Statement II confirms Horizon Tower fits this exact profile (built in 2026) and holds the permit. Thus, it inherently must have the system. Conclusion II does not follow because the text provides absolutely no restrictions on buildings completed in or before 2025.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Statement I to extract the core logical condition.
Condition: If a commercial complex is completed after 2025 and wants a final occupancy permit, it MUST incorporate a rainwater harvesting system.
This establishes the rule that acts as the primary premise for deduction.
2
Apply the rule from Statement I to the specific scenario in Statement II.
Horizon Tower meets all the criteria: it is a commercial complex, completed after 2025 (in 2026), and possesses the permit. Therefore, it must have fulfilled the prerequisite condition.
This confirms that Conclusion I is a direct, undeniable deduction from the given facts.
3
Evaluate Conclusion II against the boundaries of the provided statements.
The statements only establish rules for buildings completed after 2025. They are completely silent regarding what buildings completed in or before 2025 can or cannot do.
This proves Conclusion II is invalid, preventing the logical fallacy of assuming the inverse of a conditional statement.
