No Car Stolen 87B052


1. The problem is to analyze the statement "No car is stolen." 2. This is a universal negative statement, which means it asserts that there are no cars that are stolen. 3. In logic, this can be expressed as: $$\forall x (Car(x) \rightarrow \neg Stolen(x))$$ which means "For all x, if x is a car, then x is not stolen." 4. This statement implies that the set of stolen cars is empty. 5. To understand this better, if we consider the set of all cars, none of them belong to the subset of stolen cars. 6. Therefore, the statement "No car is stolen" is logically equivalent to saying the intersection of the set of cars and the set of stolen things is empty. Final answer: The statement means there are zero stolen cars.
