Q 5MCQ1 Mark
Consider the following three statements
p : 2 is an even number.
q : 2 is a prime number.
r : Sum of two prime numbers is always even.
Then, the symbolic statement (p ∧ q) → ~r means:
  • A
    2 is an even and prime number and the sum of two prime numbers is always even.
  • B
    2 is an even and prime number and the sum of two prime numbers is not always even.
  • If 2 is an even and prime number, then the sum of two prime numbers is not always even.
  • D
    If 2 is an even and prime number, then the sum of two prime numbers is also even.
