Maria won this year's local sailboat race by beating Sue, the winner in each of the four previous years. We can conclude from this that Maria trained hard.
The conclusion follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?
A. Sue did not train as hard as Maria trained.
B. If Maria trained hard, she would win the sailboat race.
C. Maria could beat a four-time winner only if she trained hard.
D. If Sue trained hard, she would win the sailboat race.
E. Sue is usually a faster sailboat racer than Maria.
The given OA is C. I did not understand the difference between the options B and C really...
Option B. IF A then B, and B has happened but that does not mean that A has happened as well because If A then B, that does not mean that if B then A. So may be that is the reason why, option B is not the correct answer...
Option C: The only difference is that this option uses the 'only if' thing in the option. Let us say it means the following:
If only A then B.
What is the difference between the two options, i.e B and C. if a necessary condition is added then does it mean that IF A THEN B, THEN IT ALSO MEANS THAT IF B THEN A AND THE REVERSE IS POSSIBLE IF IT IS A NECESSARY CONDITION...
THAT IS THE ONLY QUESTION THAT CAN BE RAISED IF C IS THE ANSWER CHOICE. Does in case of a necessary condition question, A and B are interrelated.
If only A then B, does it mean If B then A... Important concept... Please any of the experts help in this question...
