Here's the Solution to this Question

A – Fail mathematics

B – Play basketball

C – Study.

-> - implication


\def\arraystretch{1.5} \begin{array}{c:c:c:c} A & C\to\bar{A} & \bar{B}\to C & B \\ \hdashline 1 & 1 & 1 & ? \end{array}


If I study, then I will not fail mathematics <=> C\to\bar{A}=1

if I don't play basketball, then I will study <=> \bar{B}\to C =1

But I failed mathematics <=> A=1

C\to\bar{1}=C\to0=\bar{C}=1=>C=0

\bar{B}\to0=B=1

That means that he must have played basketball.
