In 2022, June Huh was awarded the Fields medal (the highest prize in Mathematics). When he was younger, he was also a poet. He did not win any medals in the International Mathematics Olympiads. He dropped out of college.
\medskip
Based only on the above information, which of the following statements can be logically inferred with certainty?
Show Hint
- Every Fields medalist has won a medal in an International Mathematics Olympiad.
- Everyone who has dropped out of college has won the Fields medal.
- All Fields medalists are part-time poets.
- Some Fields medalists have dropped out of college.
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Extract the given facts.
June Huh is a Fields medalist; he did not win any IMO medals; he dropped out of college; he was a poet when younger.
Step 2: Test each option against the facts.
(A) "Every Fields medalist has an IMO medal."
Counterexample: June Huh is a Fields medalist with no IMO medals \(\Rightarrow\) (A) is certainly false.
[2mm]
(B) "Everyone who dropped out of college has a Fields medal."
We only know one dropout (June Huh) who has a Fields medal; this does not justify a universal claim about all dropouts \(\Rightarrow\) not inferable.
[2mm]
(C) "All Fields medalists are part-time poets."
We know only that one Fields medalist (June) was a poet when younger (not even stated 'part-time'). A universal statement about all medalists is unjustified \(\Rightarrow\) not inferable.
[2mm]
(D) "Some Fields medalists have dropped out of college."
"Some" means "at least one." June Huh is a Fields medalist who dropped out \(\Rightarrow\) (D) is certainly true.
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{(D) Some Fields medalists have dropped out of college.}}
\]

An investment company, Win Lose, recruit's employees to trade in the share market. For newcomers, they have a one-year probation period. During this period, the employees are given Rs. 1 lakh per month to invest the way they see fit. They are evaluated at the end of every month, using the following criteria:
1. If the total loss in any span of three consecutive months exceeds Rs. 20,000, their services are terminated at the end of that 3-month period,
2. If the total loss in any span of six consecutive months exceeds Rs. 10,000, their services are terminated at the end of that 6-month period.
Further, at the end of the 12-month probation period, if there are losses on their overall investment, their services are terminated.
Ratan, Shri, Tamal and Upanshu started working for Win Lose in January. Ratan was terminated after 4 months, Shri was terminated after 7 months, Tamal was terminated after 10 months, while Upanshu was not terminated even after 12 months. The table below, partially, lists their monthly profits (in Rs. ‘000’) over the 12-month period, where x, y and z are masked information.
Note:
• A negative profit value indicates a loss.
• The value in any cell is an integer.
Illustration: As Upanshu is continuing after March, that means his total profit during January-March (2z +2z +0) ≥
Rs.20,000. Similarly, as he is continuing after June, his total profit during January − June ≥
Rs.10,000, as well as his total profit during April-June ≥ Rs.10,000.

- A lifting surface has a spanwise circulation distribution of \( \Gamma(\theta) = A \sin 3\theta \) (where \( A \neq 0 \)) over its span \( -\frac{b}{2} \leq y \leq \frac{b}{2} \), and \( y = -\frac{b}{2} \cos \theta \) is the spanwise coordinate. Furthermore, the downwash varies along the span as \( w(\theta) = V_\infty \left( \frac{3A \sin 3\theta}{\sin \theta} \right) \), where \( V_\infty \) is the freestream velocity.
