Question 12 Marks
Write the negation of the following statement.
"Set $A$ and $B$ are equal if and only if $A \leq B$ and $B \leq A$ "
Answer
Let $p:$ Set $A$ and $B$ are equal
$
q: A \leq B \text { and } B \leq A
$
We know that,$
\sim(p \Leftrightarrow q)=(p \wedge \sim q) \vee(q \wedge \sim p)
$
The negation of the given statement is :
Either $A=B$ and $(A \leq B$ or $B \leq A)$ OR $(A \leq B$ and $B \leq A)$ and $A \neq B$

Question 32 Marks
Two pair of statements are given below. Combine these two statements using 'if and only if'.
(a) $p$ : If a rectangle is a square, then all its four sides are equal
$q$ : If all the four sides of a rectangle are equal, then rectangle is a square.
(b) $p$ : If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3 , then the number is divisible by 3 .
$q$ : If a number is divisible by 3 , then sum of its digits is divisible by 3 .
Answer
For the given pairs, combined statements of these using "if an only if" are respectively as follows:
(a) A rectangle is a square if and only if all its four sides are equal.
(b) A number is divisible by 3 if and only if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 .

Question 42 Marks
Prove by the direct method for any integer ' $n$ ', $n^3-n$ is always even.
Answer
Let $n$ be even, then $n=2 m$
$
\therefore \quad n^3-n=n\left(n^2-1\right)=2 m\left(4 m^2-1\right)
$
which is even.
If $n$ is odd, $n=2 m+1$Then,
$
\begin{aligned}
n^3-n & =(2 m+1)^3-(2 m+1) \\
& =(2 m+1)\left(4 m^2+4 m+1-1\right) \\
& =4 m(m+1)(2 m+1),
\end{aligned}
$
Which is also even
Therefore, for any integer $n, n^3-n$ is always even.

Question 52 Marks
Show that following statement is true $p:$ For any real numbers $x, y$, if $x=y$, then $2 x+a=$ $2 y+a$, when $a \in Z$
Answer
$
\begin{array}{l}
\text { Let } 2 x+a \neq 2 y+a, a \in Z \\
\Rightarrow \quad 2 x \neq 2 y \\
\Rightarrow \quad x \neq y
\end{array}
$
Then given statement is true by contrapositive method.

Question 62 Marks
Check whether the following pair of statements are negation of each other.
(i) $a+b=b+a$ is true for every real numbers $a$ and $b$.
(ii) There exist real numbers $a$ and $b$ for which $a+b=$ $b+a$.
Answer
No,
Let $p: a+b=b+a$ is true for every real numbers $a$ and $b$.
$\sim p \quad$ : There exist real numbers $a$ and $b$ for which $a+b=b+a$.
Therefore, negation of statement (i) is different from statement (ii).

Question 72 Marks
Write the negation of the following statements :
(i) for every real number $n, n+1>n$.
(ii) There exists a number which is equal to its square.
Answer
(i) Negation of quantifier 'for every' is 'There exists'. Therefore, let $p$ : For every real number $n, n+1>n$. then $\sim p$ : There exist a real numbers $n, n+1>n .$
(ii) Similarly, the negation of quantifier 'There exists' is 'for every / for all'.
Therefore, let $p$ : There exists a number which is equal to its square.
$\sim p$ : for every real number $x$, we have $x \neq x^2$. or $\sim p$ : There does not exist a number which is equal to its square.

Question 82 Marks
For each of the following statement, determine whether an inclusive 'OR' or exclusive 'OR' is used Give reasons :
(i) The school is closed if it is a holiday or a Sunday.
(ii) Two lines in a plane intersect at a point or are parallel.
Answer
(i) Here, 'OR' is inclusive since school is closed on holiday and Sunday. If a holiday on Sunday, then also the school remains closed.
(ii) Two lines either intersect at a point or they are parallel, but it is not possible for two lines to intersect and be parallel together. Thus, here 'OR' is exclusive.
