Question 21 Mark
Write the truth values of the following statements :

In ∆ ABC if all sides are equal then its all angles are equal.

Answer
Let p : ABC is a triangle and all its sides are equal.
q : Its all angles are equal.
Then the symbolic form of the given statement is p → q
If the truth value of p is T, then the truth value of q is T.
∴ the truth value of p → q is T. … [T → T ≡ T].

Question 31 Mark
Write the truth values of the following statements :

The square of any even number is odd or the cube of any odd number is odd.

Answer
Let p : The square of any even number is odd.
q : The cube of any odd number is odd.
Then the symbolic form of the given statement is p ∨ q.
The truth values of p and q are F and T respectively.
∴ the truth value of p ∨ q is T. … [F ∨ T ≡ T].

Question 51 Mark
Write the truth values of the following statements :
$\forall n \in N, n^2+n$ is even number while $n ^2- n$ is an odd number.
Answer
Let $p: \forall n \in N, n^2+n$ is an even number.
$q : \forall n \in N , n ^2- n$ is an odd number.
Then the symbolic form of the given statement is $p \wedge q$.
The truth values of $p$ and $q$ are $T$ and $F$ respectively.
$\therefore$ the truth value of $p \wedge q$ is $F \ldots[T \wedge F \equiv F]$.

Question 61 Mark
Write the truth values of the following statements :$\sqrt{5}$ is an irrational but $3 \sqrt{5}$ is a complex number.
Answer
Let $p: \sqrt{5}$ is an irrational.

$q: 3 \sqrt{5}$ is a complex number.

Then the symbolic form of the given statement is $p \wedge q$.

The truth values of $p$ and $q$ are $T$ and $F$ respectively.

$\therefore$ the truth value of $p \wedge q$ is $F . \ldots[T \wedge F \equiv F]$
