Known facts :

\quad

  1. Santa Claus does N O T NOT exist.
  2. 3691 3691 I S IS a prime.

\quad

Now let's take a closer look at the choices ...

\quad Choice A: If 3691 3691 is composite, the Santa Claus exists. \quad

Reasoning: 3691 3691 is NOT composite and therefore the statement is not false.

\quad Choice B: If 3691 3691 is composite,the Santa Claus does not exist. \quad

Reasoning: 3691 3691 is NOT composite but that doesn't force Santa not to exist does?!The statement only implies that "IF (so) ,THEN (that)" but does not necessarily imply "IF (not) , THEN (that) is false ".

\quad Choice C: If 3691 3691 is prime, the Santa Claus exists. \quad

Reasoning: 3691 3691 is a prime indeed and hence Santa Claus must exist which contradicts our no. 1 fact.

\quad Choice D: If 3691 3691 is prime,the Santa Claus does not exist. \quad

Reasoning: 3691 3691 is a prime and Santa Claus does not exist,no argument here!

Thanks for ruining my childhood.
