hintHint:

Reasoning is drawing conclusions using statements and pictures. There are two types of reasonings they are deductive and inductive. In deductive reasoning we use facts, definitions and postulates to draw a conclusion. There are two laws under deductive reasoning they are Law of Detachment and Law of Syllogism. Here, we have to determine whether the drawn conclusion in the question is correct or not.

The correct answer is: False


    In the question it is given that,
    The Large Silver Watch states the time as 15:50.
    The Small Silver Watch displays, the same time as the Gold Watch.
    The Bronze Watch is small in size.
    The Gold Watch is ten minutes slower than the Large Silver Watch.
    The Bronze Watch is five minutes faster than the Small Silver Watch.
    The Gold Watch shows the same time as the Bronze Watch.
    Here, we have to find whether the given statement is true or false.
    From the statements we can say that,
    a. Line 6 states that the bronze clock is five minutes after the small silver clock.
    b. Line 2 states that the small silver clock is the same time as the gold clock.
    c. Line 4 states that the gold clock is ten minutes behind the large silver clock, which line 1 states is 15:50.
    Therefore, the gold clock is 15:40 but the bronze is 15:45.
    Thus, the times are not the same and this statement is false.
