1 You encounter two natives C and D but only C speaks. C says: "Both of us are Knaves." What are C and D?
If C is a knight, He is a knave. //This is a contradiction
Therefore, C is a knave.
Since C is a knave, his statement must be false.
Therefore, D is a knight.
2 A set of premises and a conclusion are given. Deduce the conclusion from the premises using the valid argument forms. For full credit, make sure to give a reason for each step.
(a) p ˅ q // Considering premises p and q
(b) q -> r // if the fire was started by an electrical fault, electrical devices were left ON
(c) p ^ s -> t //consider premises p, s, t
(d) ~r// consider premise u
(e) ~q -> u ^ s//
∴ t// the fire was started through smoking
For the argument, we can use the following statements:
P – The fire was started by an individual
q- the fire was started by an electrical fault
r- electrical devices were left while ON
s- the victim was a smoker
t- the fire was started by through smoking
u- the room had no electrical devices except lighting

F+E = 29 > 16*1 + D (13)
1+F+C = 28 > 16*1 + C (12)
1+F+A = 26 >16*1 + A (10)

9 + F = 24 > 16*1 + 8
1+0+2 = 3
C + A = 22 > 16*1 + 6
