Answer :

The statement can be proved by the law of syllogism.

A formal logical framework used to infer a conclusion from a series of premises is referred to as a syllogism, also known as a rule of inference.

The law of syllogism in conditional statement is given as:

if p then r and if r then q , then we can state that if p then q , where p , q, and r are statements.

Now in the given conditional statements we can write it as:

let p = You go camping

r = you will need a flashlight

q = you will need extra batteries.

Now it is given the if p then r and again if r then q , so by using the law of syllogism we can state that if p then q , that is

If you camping you will need extra batteries.
