Question 33 Marks
If $p:$ It is a day time, $q:$ It is warm, write the compound statement in verbal form denoted by -
(a) $p \wedge \sim q$
(b) $\sim p \rightarrow q$
(c) $q \leftrightarrow p$
Answer

Given, p : It is a day time.
           q : It is warm.
a) p ∧ ∼ q : It is a day time but it is not warm.
b) ∼p → q : It is not a day time then it is warm.
c) q ↔ p : It is warm if and only it is day time.

Question 63 Marks
Write the truth values of the following statements :
(a) 2 is a rational number and $\sqrt{2}$ is an irrational number.
(b) $2+3=5$ or $\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}=\sqrt{5}$
Answer

(1) Let p : 2  is rational number, q : $\sqrt{2}$ is an irrational number. . So given compound statement is p ^ q. Truth value of of p is T and that q is T. Hence, truth value p ^ q = T ^ T =T.
(2)  Let p = 2 + 3 = 5 which is T.
q = $\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}=\sqrt{5}$ which is F
∴ Truth value of given statment is T ∨ F = T.

Question 83 Marks
Write converse, inverse and contrapositive of the following conditional statement: "If an angle is a right angle then its measure is $90^{\circ}$."
Answer

Converse: If the measure of an angle is 90° then it is a right angle
Inverse : If an angle is not a right angle then its measure is not 90°.
Contrapositive: If the measure of an angle is not 90° then it is not a right angle.

Question 113 Marks
Using truth tables, examine whether the statement pattern $(p \wedge q) \vee(p \wedge r)$ is a tautology, contradiction or contingency.
Answer

No of rows = 2n=23 =8
No. of columns = m+ n=3+3= 6

Question 133 Marks
Examine whether the following logical statement pattern is tautology, contradiction or contingency.
$[(p \rightarrow q) \wedge q] \rightarrow p$
Answer

Consider the statement pattern : [(p → q) ∧ q ] → p
No. of rows = 2n = 2 × 2 = 4
No. of column = m + n = 3 + 2 = 5
Thus the truth table of the given logical statement:
[(p → q) ∧ q] → p

Pq$p \rightarrow q$$(p \rightarrow q) \wedge q$$[(p \rightarrow q) \wedge q] \rightarrow p$

Question 203 Marks
Write the converse, inverse and contrapositive of the following statement: "If it rains then the match will be cancelled."
Answer

Let
p : It rains,
q : the match will be cancelled.
The symbolic form of the given statement is p → q.
Converse: q → p
i.e., If the match is cancelled then it rains.
Inverse: ~p → ~q
i.e., If it does not rain then the match will not be cancelled. 
Contrapositive: ~q → ~p
i.e. If the match is not cancelled then it does not rain.
