Question
Use the Law of Detachment to make a valid conclusion in the true situation. Alex goes to the park every Sunday evening. Today is Sunday.
Hint:
Law of Detachment states that if p
q is true and it is given that p is true then we can conclude that q is also true. Here, the statement is termed as Hypothesis and the statement q is termed as conclusion.
The correct answer is: Hence, we can conclude that Alex will go to the park in the evening.
It is given that Alex goes to the park every Sunday evening or we can say if the day is Sunday then Alex will go to the park in the evening.
p: The day is Sunday
q: Alex will go to the park in the evening
So we can write the given statement “if the day is Sunday then Alex will go to the park in the evening” as

We are given that today is Sunday which means the p statement is true and hence we can conclude that the q statement is also true i.e. Alex will go to the park in the evening.
Final Answer:
Hence, we can conclude that Alex will go to the park in the evening.

The Price of Stock A at 9 A.M was 12.73 .Since then the price has been increasing at the rate of Rs 0.06 per hour. At noon , the price of stock B was Rs 13.48 .It begins to decrease at the rate of Rs 0.14 per hour. If the stocks continue to increase and decrease at the same rates, in how many hours will the prices of the stocks be the same?
The equation is defined as a mathematical statement with at least two terms containing variables or numbers that are equal.
Let's take an example:
Assume the hours are "h" when attempting to equalize,
As per the given question, we can write the equation as:
12.73 + 0.06h = 13.48 - 0.14h
Rearrange the terms of h in the above equation,
0.06h + 0.14h = 13.48- 12.73
In the above equation, combine the corresponding terms,
0.2h = 0.75
Divide both sides by 0.2
h = 0.75/0.2
h = 3.75
Thus, the stock prices will be the same in 3.75 hours.
