Homework Statement
Asked at a press conference whether the new signing, Petermass, would be playing in the big match on Saturday, the Manager replied: “Only if Fredericks isn’t fit.” Three of the journalists present noted the announcement as follows:
Jed wrote: “If Fredericks is fit Petermass won’t be playing.”
Ned wrote: “If Fredericks isn’t fit, Petermass will be playing.”
Ted wrote: “If Petermass doesn’t play it’ll mean Fredericks is fit."
Which of them got the facts right?
[Ans: Jed only]
The Attempt at a Solution
A: Petermass playing
B: Frederick is fit
The press conference suggests: BC → A
Jed: B → AC
Ned: BC → A
Ted: AC → B
How do I tackle such a question? Suggestions please :(
