The correct Answer is:
To determine the conditions under which the statement "Ananya is beautiful or 165 centimetres tall" is true, we can analyze the logical expression using the variables defined: Let: - \( P \): "Ananya is beautiful" - \( Q \): "Ananya is 165 centimetres tall" The statement can be expressed as \( P \lor Q \) (P or Q). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Logical OR**: The logical OR operator (\( \lor \)) means that the statement \( P \lor Q \) is true if at least one of the statements \( P \) or \( Q \) is true. 2. **Constructing the Truth Table**: We will create a truth table to analyze all possible truth values for \( P \) and \( Q \): | \( P \) (Ananya is beautiful) | \( Q \) (Ananya is 165 cm tall) | \( P \lor Q \) | |-------------------------------|---------------------------------|----------------| | True | True | True | | True | False | True | | False | True | True | | False | False | False | 3. **Analyzing the Truth Table**: - The statement \( P \lor Q \) is true in the following cases: - When both \( P \) and \( Q \) are true. - When \( P \) is true and \( Q \) is false. - When \( P \) is false and \( Q \) is true. - The statement \( P \lor Q \) is false only when both \( P \) and \( Q \) are false. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the statement "Ananya is beautiful or 165 centimetres tall" is true under the following conditions: - Ananya is beautiful (P is true). - Ananya is 165 centimetres tall (Q is true). - Both statements can be true at the same time. ### Final Answer: The statement "Ananya is beautiful or 165 centimetres tall" is true if at least one of the statements \( P \) or \( Q \) is true. ---
