c- It represents country

∃c – it means there exists a country

Border(c, India) – it means border between India and c

Border(c, Nepal) – it means border between Nepal and c

Variables are two: India and Nepal

Given statement: “There is a country that borders both India and Nepal.”

AND is true only when Border(c, India) and Border(c, Nepal) is 1.
