    Solution

    In a legal proceeding, the question of whether a statement was recorded during the investigation is a question of fact. A question of fact pertains to the actual occurrence of an event, and it requires an inquiry into the evidence presented to determine what happened. In this case, it would involve examining whether a statement was in fact recorded during an investigation. On the other hand, a question of law pertains to the interpretation or application of the law. It involves determining what the law says and how it applies to a particular situation. A mixed question of law and fact arises when the court has to apply the law to the facts of the case. It involves determining what the law says and then applying it to the particular facts of the case to arrive at a legal conclusion.
