if the car is less than 2 years old or the car has not been driven more than \(20\,000{\text{ km}}\), then the car is under warranty     (A1)(A1)(A1)     (C3)

 

Note:     Award (A1) for if …, then …, (A1) for “or”, (A1) for correct statements in correct order. Accept “If the car has not been driven more than \(20\,000{\text{ km}}\) or the car is less than 2 years old, then the car is under warranty”.
