If ice is heavier than water write 'Yes' unless milk denser than water, in which case write 'No'.
💡
Step-by-Step Explanation & Concept Rationale
This conditional puzzle relies on evaluating two distinct scientific facts:
Condition 1 (Ice vs. Water): Is ice heavier/denser than water? No. Ice expands when it freezes, meaning it is less dense than water and floats on top of it.
Condition 2 (Milk vs. Water): Is milk denser than water? Yes. Milk is an emulsion that contains suspended solids like proteins, lactose, and minerals, which makes its density (\(\approx 1.03 \text{ g/cm}^3\)) slightly higher than pure water (\(1.00 \text{ g/cm}^3\)).
Applying the rules of the prompt:
You are told to write "Yes" unless milk is denser than water.
Because milk is denser than water, the "unless" condition triggers.
Therefore, you must write No.

TASWAR younger NIMRA; NIMRA younger TASWAR. (First two true).
💡
Step-by-Step Explanation & Concept Rationale
Statement 1 says: Taswar is younger than Nimra. (True)
Statement 2 says: Nimra is younger than Taswar. (True)
If the first statement is true, Taswar must be the younger one. Therefore, the second statement (which claims Nimra is younger) cannot possibly be true at the same time. The two facts directly contradict each other, making the premise False.

If the first statement is true, Taswar must be the younger one. Therefore, the second statement (which claims Nimra is younger) cannot possibly be true at the same time. The two facts directly contradict each other, making the premise False.
