Examples:

1. Which of the following sentences is a statement.

(i) New Delhi is in India.

Ans: Use basic definitions of statements. Statement is a sentence which is either true or false.

The sentence ‘New Delhi is in India’ is true. Therefore, it is a statement.


(ii) Every rectangle is a square.

Ans: Use basic definitions of statements. Statement is a sentence which is either true or false.

The sentence ‘Every rectangle is a square’ is true. Therefore, it is a statement.


(iii) Close the door.

Ans: Use basic definitions of statements. Statement is a sentence which is either true or false.

Since, the sentence ‘Close the door’ is an order. Therefore, it is not a statement.


(iv) How old are you?

Ans: Use basic definitions of statements. Statement is a sentence which is either true or false. Since, the sentence ‘How old are you?’ is a question. Therefore, it is not a statement.


(v) x is a natural number.

Ans: Use basic definitions of statements. Statement is a sentence which is either true or false. Since, the truth or falsity of sentence ‘x is a natural number’ depends on x. Therefore, it is not a statement.

 

2. The statements:

Ans: “$2$ is an even number”

“A square has all its sides equal” and,

“Chandigarh is the capital of Haryana” are all simple statements.


3. The statement “$11$is both an odd and prime number”.

Ans: Since, the statement is broken into two statements,

“ $11$ is both an odd” and $11$ is a prime number”.

Therefore, it is a compound statement.

 

4. Form the conjunction of the following simple statements

p: Dinesh is a boy.

q: Nagma is a girl.

Ans: Given: Simple statements,

p: Dinesh is a boy.

q: Nagma is a girl.

We know that, Conjunction of simple statements is obtained by using connector ‘AND’ between the statements.

The conjunction of two simple statements is represented by ${\text{p }} \wedge {{ q}}{\text{.}}$

Therefore, the conjunction of the given statement is given by,

${{p }} \wedge {{ q :}}$ Dinesh is a boy and Nagma is a girl.

 

5. Translate the following statement into symbolic form

“Jack and Jill went up the hill”.

Ans: Given: The statement “Jack and Jill went up the hill”.

We know that Symbolic forms use logical connectors to represent the statement logically. First, rewrite the statement. Then use symbolic form between the statements.

First, break the statement in ${\text{p and q}}$as,

${{p :}}$ Jack went up the hill.

${{q :}}$ Jill went up the hill.

Now, rewrite the given statement such that the logical connector is used in the statement.

The statement can be written as, “Jack went up the hill and Jill went up the hill”.

Therefore, the statement in symbolic form is given by ${{p }} \wedge {{ q}}{\text{.}}$

Now, taking negation of the sub-statements,

${{~p : 2  +  3 }} \ne {{ 5}}$ and

${{~q : 8 \text{ not }  <  10}}{\text{.}}$

Therefore, negation of conjunction is given by,

Using Direct Method, for two real numbers, ${\text{p  }} \Rightarrow {\text{ q}}$

${\text{x  =  y (given)}}$

$\Rightarrow {{ 2x  =  2y}}$

$\Rightarrow {{ 2x  +  a  =  2y  +  a, a }} \in {\text{ Z}}{\text{.}}$

By contrapositive Method, ${{q }} \Rightarrow {\text{ p}}$

$\Rightarrow {{ 2x  +  a }} \ne {{ 2y  +  a, a }} \in {\text{ Z}}$

$\Rightarrow {{ 2x }} \ne {{ 2y}}$

$\Rightarrow {{ x }} \ne {{ y}}$

 

33. Check the validity of the statements

12. Prove by direct method that for any integer \['n', {n^3}  -  n\] is always even.

Ans: Given: \[{\text{'n', }}{{\text{n}}^3}{\text{  -  n}}\] for any integer.

In direct method to show a statement, if\[{\text{p then q}}\] is true, assume \[{\text{p}}\] is true and show \[{\text{q}}\] is true.

${\text{Case 1 :  n is even,}}$

Let ${{ n  =  2K, K }} \in {{ N}}$

$\Rightarrow {{ }}{{{n}}^3}{{  -  n  =  (2K}}{{{)}}^3}{{  -  (2K)}}$

$\Rightarrow {n}^3-n=2K(4{K}^2-1)$

$\Rightarrow {{ }}{{{n}}^3}{{  -  n  =  2m, m  =  K(4}}{{{K}}^2}{{  -  1)}}. $

$\therefore {{ (}}{{{n}}^3}{{  -  n}}){\text{ is even}}{\text{.}}$

${\text{Case 2 : n is odd,}}$

Let ${{ n  =  2K  +  1, K }} \in {{ N}}$

$\Rightarrow {{ }}{{{n}}^3}{{  -  n  =  (2K  +  1}}{{{)}}^3}{{  -  (2K  +  1)}}$

$\Rightarrow {{ }}{{{n}}^3}{{  -  n  =  (2K  +  1)}}[{{{(2K  +  1)}}^2}{{  -  1]}}$

$\Rightarrow {{ }}{{{n}}^3}{{  -  n  =  (2K  +  1)(4}}{{{K}}^2}{{  +  4K)}}$

$\Rightarrow {{ }}{{{n}}^3}{{  -  n  =  4K(2K  +  1)(K  +  1)}}$

$\Rightarrow {{ }}{{{n}}^3}{{  -  n  =  2p, p  =  2K(2K  +  1)(K  +  1)}}$

${\text{So, }}{{{n}}^3}{\text{  -  n is even for odd n}}{\text{.}}$

$\therefore {\text{ }}{{{n}}^3}{\text{  -  n is always even}}{\text{.}}$


13. Check validity of the following statement

(i) \[p : 125\] is divisible by 5 and 7.

Ans: Check \[{\text{(p }} \wedge {\text{ q) or (p }} \vee {\text{ q)}}{\text{.}}\] Then, verify the truth value.

Here,

\[{\text{p : 125}}\] is divisible by \[{\text{5 and 7}}{\text{.}}\]

\[{\text{Let a : 125}}\] is divisible by \[5.\]

\[{\text{b : 125}}\] is divisible by \[7.\]

${\text{a is true, b is false}}{\text{.}}$

$\Rightarrow {\text{ a }} \wedge {\text{ b is false}}{\text{.}}$

$\therefore {\text{ p is not valid}}{\text{.}}$


(ii) \[q : 132\] is a multiple of \[3 \text{ or } 11.\]

Ans: Check \[{\text{(p }} \wedge {\text{ q) or (p }} \vee {\text{ q)}}{\text{.}}\] Then, verify the truth value.

Here,

\[{\text{q : 131}}\] is a multiple of \[3{\text{ or 11}}{\text{.}}\]

\[{\text{Let a : 131}}\] is multiple of \[3.\]

\[{\text{b : 131}}\] is a multiple of \[11.\]

${\text{a is true, b is false}}{\text{.}}$

$\Rightarrow {\text{ a }} \vee {\text{ b is true}}{\text{.}}$

$\therefore {\text{ q is valid}}{\text{.}}$


14. Prove the following statement by contradiction method

\[p :\] The sum of an irrational number and a rational number is irrational.

Ans: Use a contradiction method. Assume the statement \[{\text{p}}\] either true or false.

Let the statement \[{\text{p}}\] be false.

Now, let \[\sqrt {\text{a}}\] be irrational and \[{\text{b}}\] is a rational number.

$\Rightarrow {\text{ }}\sqrt {\text{a}} {\text{  +  b  =   r}}$

$\Rightarrow {\text{ }}\sqrt {\text{a}} {\text{  =  r  -   b}}$

$\sqrt {\text{a}} {\text{ is irrational, but (r  -   b) is rational}}{\text{.}}$

This is a contradiction. Our assumption is wrong.

Therefore, the statement \[{\text{p}}\] is true.

 

15. Prove by direct method that for any real number \[x, y \text{ if } x  =  y, \text{ then } {x^2}  =  {y^2}.\]

Ans: Given: \[{\text{x  =  y}}{\text{.}}\] Use a direct method, assume \[{\text{p}}\] is true and show \[{\text{q}}\] is true.

${\text{p : x  =  y, x, y }} \in {\text{ R}}$

${\text{On squaring, we get}}$

${{\text{x}}^2}{\text{  =  }}{{\text{y}}^2}{\text{ : q}}$

$\therefore {\text{ p }} \Rightarrow {\text{ q}}{\text{.}}$


16. Using contrapositive methods prove that, if \[{n^2}\] is an even integer, then \[{\text{n}}\] is also an even integer.

Ans: Given: \[{{\text{n}}^2}\] is an even integer.

Use the contrapositive method, assume \[{\text{~ q}}\] and show \[~{\text{ p}}\] is true.

Let \[{\text{p : }}{{\text{n}}^2}\] is an even integer.

\[{\text{q : n}}\] is also an even integer.

Now, assume \[~{\text{ q}}\] is true. Then, \[{{\text{n}}^2}\] is not an even integer.

$\Rightarrow {\text{ }}{{\text{n}}^2}{\text{ is not an even integer}}{\text{.}}$

$\Rightarrow {\text{~ p is true}}{\text{.}}$

Hence proved.
