Question

Premises: If a person has insufficient vitamin K, there will be a prothrombin deficiency. Mr. Keene does not have a prothrombin deficiency

Answer 1

The conclusion is Mr. Keene has sufficient vitamin K.

Explanation:

Consider the provided statement.

The law of detachment involves two quantities, one is hypothesis and another is conclusion.

In the provided statement hypotheses and conclusion is:

Hypotheses (P): Person has insufficient vitamin K

Conclusion (Q): There will be a prothrombin deficiency.

Here if a person has insufficient vitamin K that means there must be prothrombin deficiency, but if a person has prothrombin deficiency we can't say anything.

Now it is given that Mr. Keene does not have a prothrombin deficiency.

That means he has sufficient vitamin K

Hence, the conclusion is Mr. Keene has sufficient vitamin K.
