Venus has switches at the top and bottom of her stairs to control the light for the stairwell. She notices that when the upstairs switch is up and the downstairs switch is down, the light is turned on.

b. If both the upstairs and downstairs switches are in the up position, will the light be on?
Explain your reasoning.

Respuesta :

If both the upstairs and downstairs switches are in the up position, the light will be off

How to determine if the light will be on?

The given parameters are

Switches = 2 i.e. top and bottom

Also, we have:

When the upstairs switch is up and the downstairs switch is down, the light is turned on.

This means that the light is only on when the upstairs switch is up and the downstairs switch is down

Any other position of the switches, the light is off

From the question, we have

Both the upstairs and downstairs switches are in the up position

This is different from the required position to on the light

Hence, the light will be off
