Question

If A is true, B is true and C is false does the following statement evaluate to true or false

A or B and C

Group of answer choices

True

False

Answer 1

The statement "A or B and C" involves the use of logical operators, specifically the "and" and "or" operators.

When evaluating such statements, it is important to follow the order of operations (similar to mathematical expressions). The "and" operator takes precedence over the "or" operator, so we evaluate B and C first and then combine the result with A using the "or" operator.

Given that A is true, B is true, and C is false, we have:

B and C = false

So, the original statement becomes:

A or (B and C) = true or false = true

Therefore, the statement "A or B and C" evaluates to true.
