  1. Emelia: 'I won't go out for a walk if it's not dry or not warm.'
    Gemma: ‘It’s warm. Let’s go!’
    Will what Gemma has said convince Emelia, and if not, why not?
  2. If it is daytime and the car headlights are on, then it is raining. If the dashboard lights are dimmed then the car headlights are on.
    It is daytime.
    It is not raining.
    1. What can you deduce?
    2. Prove your deduction.
  3. In this part of the question the switch X is represented by

    the switch is up

    but does not flow when it is down

    the switch is down

    but does not flow when it is up
    \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{d254fbd2-7443-4b6d-87ba-f0d71fce5e17-3_109_174_1228_1327}
    1. Explain how the following circuit models \(( \mathrm { A } \wedge \mathrm { B } ) \Rightarrow \mathrm { C }\).

    2. Given that A is down, C is up and current is flowing, what can you deduce?
