    Question



    Consider the sentence below:
    There is a country that borders both India and Pakistan.
    Which of the following logical expressions express the above sentence correctly when the predicate Country(x) represents that x is a country and Borders(x, y) represents that the countries x and y share the border?

    A.

    ∃c Country(c) ∧ Border(c, India) ∧ Border(c, Pakistan)

    B.

    ∃c Country

    C.

    ∧ Border(c, India) ∧ Border(c, Pakistan)
    (b) ∃c Country(c) ⇒ [Border(c, India) ∧ Border(c, Pakistan)]
    (c) [∃c Country(c)] ⇒ [Border(c, India) ∧ Border(c, Pakistan)]

    D.

    ∃c Border(Country(c), India ∧ Pakistan)

    Correct option is A


    The statement "There is a country that borders both India and Pakistan" requires a logical representation where:
    · c represents a country.
    · Country(c): c is a country.
    · Border (c, y): c shares a border with y.
    Option (a) directly asserts the existence of a country ccc that satisfies the following conditions:
    1. c is a country (Country(c)).
    2. c borders India (Border (c, India)).
    3. c borders Pakistan (Border (c, Pakistan)).
    This is the most accurate representation of the given sentence.

    Additional Knowledge:
    Option (b): Incorrect because it uses brackets incorrectly, implying unnecessary restrictions on c.
    Option (c): Incorrect because it introduces an implication (⇒), which is not needed to represent the direct relationship.
    Option (d): Incorrect due to improper logical structure and ambiguity in expression.
