Worked practice questions

The two kinds of reasoning in mathematical language are deductive and:

  1. Inductive
  2. Emotional
  3. Political
  4. Accidental
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Inductive

1. One moves from cases to a rule. 2. The other moves from a rule to cases. 3. The pair is inductive and deductive. _Source: syllabus Mathematics, Chapter 14, Mathematical Reasoning._

A sentence is an acceptable statement only if it is:

  1. Sometimes true for a while
  2. True or false but not both
  3. Both true and false at once
  4. Neither true nor ever false
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. True or false but not both

1. Ambiguity disqualifies a sentence. 2. Exactly one truth value is needed. 3. So it must be true or false, not both. _Source: syllabus Mathematics, Chapter 14, Mathematical Reasoning._

Why is Women are more intelligent than men not a statement?

  1. It is ambiguous
  2. It is too short
  3. It is a question
  4. It has numbers
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. It is ambiguous

1. Some agree and some disagree. 2. It cannot be settled as true or false. 3. So it is ambiguous. _Source: syllabus Mathematics, Chapter 14, Mathematical Reasoning._
