The document discusses issues related to insufficient information, ambiguity, and logical inconsistency in determining the number of students wearing red shirts. It also provides justifications for mathematical and physics problems, emphasizing clear questions, defined parameters, and the existence of solutions or formulas. The examples highlight the need for specific data to arrive at conclusive answers in both contexts.

Insufficient Information: The information provided does not specify how many students are wearing

shirts of both colors. Without this, it's impossible to determine the exact number of students wearing
only red shirts.

Ambiguity: The phrase "some students are wearing shirts of both colors" is vague and does not
provide a specific number or proportion, leaving the question open-ended.

Logical Inconsistency: The total number of students (30) exceeds the sum of those wearing red (18)
and blue (12), which suggests that clarification on the overlap is needed to arrive at a conclusive answer.
YES

Justification: Clear Question: The prompt clearly asks for a specific type of mathematical object—a triplet
(a,b,c)(a,b,c)—that proves the given statement false.

Defined Parameters: It provides a mathematical context (the Pythagorean theorem) that is well-
understood, allowing for the identification of specific values that can be tested.

Existence of Solutions: There are known triplets that can be used to show that the statement is false,
such as (1,1,2)(1,1,2), making it possible to provide a correct answer.

Justification:

Clear Question: The prompt clearly asks for the total time of flight of a projectile, which is a well-defined
physics problem.

Defined Parameters: It provides relevant information, including the launch angle (45°), maximum height
(10 m), and acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²). These parameters are sufficient to apply projectile
motion equations.

Existence of Formulas: The problem can be solved using standard physics equations, such as those
related to projectile motion, making it feasible to derive a solution.
