A statement says: "All employees who work remotely use a laptop. Ravi uses a laptop. Therefore Ravi works remotely." Is this conclusion logically guaranteed?

Hint
Consider whether the original statement works in both directions.

Answer

No.

Explanation

The original statement says remote employees use laptops, but it does not say that everyone using a laptop works remotely.

Step-by-Step Solution

Remote employee → laptop.
Ravi → laptop.
The reverse implication is not established.
Therefore Ravi may or may not work remotely.
