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 the given statements are,
    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 Small Silver Watch displays the time as 16:00.
    Here, we have to fund the statement is correct or not.
    From the above statements we can say that,
    a. Line 2 states the small silver clock is the same time as the gold clock.
    b. Line 4 states that the gold clock is ten minutes behind the large silver clock.
    c. Line 1 states that the large silver clock says the time is 15:50.
    Therefore, the small silver clock should display 15:40, not 16:00.
    Thus, this statement is false.
