All have equal expected value
Option C
Expected values: A = 200Ã - 0.2=40, B = 150Ã - 0.4=60, C = 100Ã - 0.5=50; B has the highest expected value of 60.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Deductive vs Inductive Reasoning - Imagine you're a detective piecing together clues: deductive reasoning starts with a broad rule and narrows down to a crisp conclusion, while inductive reasoning collects individual clues to build a bigger picture. Mastering both helps you craft rock-solid arguments and smart predictions. Enhancing Logical Reasoning Skills
  2. Spotting Logical Fallacies - Ever been tricked by a sneaky argument? Learning to identify common fallacies like ad hominem attacks (when someone attacks the person, not the point) or straw man setups (twisting an opponent's view) makes you a critical-thinking champion. Flex your brain by calling out weak logic and keep debates on track! The Do's and Don'ts of Logical Reasoning
  3. Breaking Down Big Problems - Big challenges can feel like climbing Everest, but chopping them into bite-sized tasks turns the mountain into friendly molehills. By isolating each piece, you spot patterns faster and build solutions step by step. It's like turning a giant pizza into delicious slices you can actually tackle! Enhancing Logical Thinking Strategies
  4. Critical Reading and Writing - Dive into texts with a detective's eye: question the author's claims, weigh their evidence, and map out their logic. Then, flip the script by writing your own arguments with crystal-clear structure and bulletproof support. It's a fun way to train your brain to think and write like a logic ninja! Enhancing Logical Thinking Strategies
  5. Using Diagrams and Flowcharts - Who says logic can't be colorful? Sketching out problems with diagrams and flowcharts turns abstract ideas into visual stories that are easy to follow. This artsy twist not only boosts comprehension but also makes studying feel like doodling your way to brilliance. Clat Logical Reasoning Strategies
  6. Mastering "If-Then" Scenarios - "If it rains, then the picnic gets moved indoors." Playing with conditional statements like these trains you to think through cause-and-effect pathways. Soon, you'll be predicting outcomes and making savvy decisions faster than a video game speedrun! Improve Your Logical Reasoning
  7. Filtering Personal Biases - We all have blind spots - those sneaky biases that twist our view of reality. By spotting and questioning your own assumptions, you clear the fog and reach fairer, more accurate conclusions. Think of it as cleaning your brain's glasses for crystal-clear thinking. Improve Your Logical Reasoning
  8. The "Five Whys" Technique - Channel your inner toddler and ask "Why?" five times to dig deep into any problem's root cause. Each "why" peels back a layer of complexity, helping you uncover hidden issues and craft bulletproof solutions. It's a fun, detective-style journey to logic gold! Enhancing Logical Reasoning Techniques
  9. Six Thinking Hats Method - Put on different "hats" to explore a problem from every angle - facts, emotions, risks, benefits, creativity, and process. This playful role-play approach expands your perspective and sparks fresh ideas. It's like giving your brain six superpowers at once! Enhancing Logical Reasoning Techniques
  10. Regular Practice Exercises - Puzzles, syllogisms, and brain teasers are your secret weapons for sharpening logic muscles. By tackling fun exercises daily, you'll notice your reasoning skills leveling up in class discussions, essays, and even gaming strategies. Keep at it and watch your critical-thinking superpowers soar! Supercharge Your Logical Reasoning Skills
