How do I deduce?
Suppose we know that:
- if Paolo is thin, then Carlo is not blonde or Roberta is not tall
- if Roberta is tall then Sandra is lovely
- if Sandra is lovely and Carlo is blonde then Paolo is thin
- Carlo is blonde
Can we deduce that Roberta is not tall?
Hint:
You have two options. Roberta is not tall is true or false. If it is false (it means that Roberta is tall) we can deduce from first statement that Paolo is thin is false (how?). This means that Sandra is lovely and Carlo is blonde must be false (from third statement). Since Carlo is blonde is true, Sandra is lovely must be false. Then, from second statement we get that Roberta is tall is false.
So, if we start with Roberta is tall we obtain Roberta is not tall! Not possible.
Now, you only have to show that Roberta is not tall is possible.
