Question

which term best describes the statement given below?
if a = b and b = c then a= c

Answer 1

Answer:

Syllogism law

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a ⇒ b, and b ⇒ c, then a ⇒ c

This is a transitive property and it is also called syllogism law.

For example,

if it rains (a), then the cricket field will be wet (b), this means a ⇒b

If the cricket field wet(b), then the game will be cancelled(c), this means b ⇒c

if it rains (a), then the game will be cancelled(c), this means a ⇒ c

So it is a  valid conclusion. This is called syllogism law.
