Answer #1

Given that Every CS student likes Math or Programming so Ali must like any of the two.

We will prove this by contradiction. Suppose Ali likes programming and given that If Ali likes programming, then programming is easy. Therefore we can argue that programming is easy which is a contradiction as it is goven that programming is hard. Therefore only one option is left for Ali to like i.e. Maths.

Therefore Ali likes Maths (Proved)
