Original question and givens

A task can be completed through two explicitly disjoint branches with 6 and 7 outcomes. What is the total?

  • G001 — A task can be completed through two explicitly disjoint branches with 6 and 7 outcomes. What is the total?

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source roles = [qf-basic-counting-principle, [branch_counts, conditional_stage_witness, mode, overlap_witness, stages]]

After

derived = [counting, null, null]

Conditions: none

Use THIS bank’s actual fields,operation/domain and types.BASE retains permissible extra metadata.Do not import LDL SAFE/set limits or a different bank’s deduplication rules.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: R70_SOURCE_bank_specific_interface · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [6, 7, addition_disjoint]

After

derived = [6, 7]

Conditions: none

Both branch counts are GIVEN positive integers.Addition still requires the disjointness/overlap premise,not merely two numbers.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Counting_TWO_GIVEN_branch_cardinalities · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

Counting disjoint union cardinality := sum(6, 7)

After

Counting disjoint union cardinality = 13

Conditions: none

This step displays the exact original operands and operation.Mul/sub/div have EXACTLY TWO inputs.Keep rational values exact and derived BigInts unbounded;do not force an answer by approximation.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

source roles = [6, 7]

After

derived = [13]

Conditions: none

The branches are GIVEN disjoint,so every union outcome is counted once:|A∪B|=|A|+|B|.This is not a rule without the disjointness premise.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Counting_DISJOINT_no_double_count · Uses: G001, S003

Reverse checks

  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-audit THIS question’s original operands,roles and necessary premises;reconstruct the next step,without reversing a one-way implication.Numerical/finite-table checking is not formal proof of an arbitrary theorem.Original Q,bilingual sources,MKO,AST,status and history remain preserved.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute Counting disjoint union cardinality with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-audit THIS question’s original operands,roles and necessary premises;reconstruct the next step,without reversing a one-way implication.Numerical/finite-table checking is not formal proof of an arbitrary theorem.Original Q,bilingual sources,MKO,AST,status and history remain preserved.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Reverse-audit THIS question’s original operands,roles and necessary premises;reconstruct the next step,without reversing a one-way implication.Numerical/finite-table checking is not formal proof of an arbitrary theorem.Original Q,bilingual sources,MKO,AST,status and history remain preserved.

Result

13

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
