Question 51 Mark
Check whether the following statement are true or not:
p: If x and y are odd integers, then x + y is an even integer.
Answer
Let q and r be the statements given by
q: x and y are odd integers.
r: x + y is an even integer.
Then, the given statement is
if q, then r,
Direct Metflod: Let q be true. Then,
q is true.
⇒ x and y are odd integers
⇒ x = 2m + 1, y = 2n + 1 for some integers m, n
⇒ x + y = (2m + 1) + (2n + 1)
⇒ x + y = (2m + 2n + 2)
⇒ x + y = 2 (m + n + 1)
⇒ x + y is an even integer
⇒ r is true.
Thus, q is true ⇒ r is true.
Hence, ''if q, then r'' is a true statement.

Question 61 Mark
By giving a counter example, show that the following statement is not true.
p: "If all the angles of a triangle are equal, then the triangle is an obtuse angled triangle".
Answer
Consider a triangle ABC with all angles equal. Then each angle of the triangle is equal to 60".
Hence, ABC is not an obtuse angle triangle.
Therefore the following statement is false.
p: "if all the angles of a triangle are equal, then the triangle is an obtuse angled triangle".

Question 71 Mark
Show that the statement:
$p: "$If $x$ is a real number such that $x^3 + x = 0,$ then x is $0"$ is true by.
Direct method.
Answer
Let $q$ and $r$ be the statements given
$q: x$ is a real number such that $x^3 + x = 0.$
$r: x$ is $0$.
Then,$ p:$ if $q,$ then $r.$
Direct metrod : Let $q$ be true. Then,
$q$ is true
$\Rightarrow x$ is a real num bar such that $x^3 + x 0$
$\Rightarrow x$ is a real num bar such that $x (x^2 + 1) = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 0$
$\Rightarrow r$ is true.
Thus, $q$ is true $\Rightarrow r$ is true.
Hence, $p$ is true.

Question 241 Mark
Check whether the following statement are true or not:
q: If x, y are integers such that xy is even, then at least one of x and y is an even integer.
Answer
Let r and s be two statements given by
r: xy is an even integer.
s: At least one of x and y is an even integer
Lets be not true. Then,
s is not true
⇒ Both x and y are odd integers
Let x = 2n + 1 and y = 2m + 1 for some integers n and m. Then,
⇒ xy = (2n + 1)(2m + 1) for some integers n and m.
⇒ xy = 4nm + 2(n + m) + 1 for some integers n and m,
⇒ xy is an odd integer
⇒ xy is not an even integer
⇒ -r is true
Thus, -s is trua es -r is true
Hence, the given statement is true.

Question 251 Mark
Show that the following statement is true "The integer $n$ is even if an only if $n^2$ is even"
Answer
The given statement can be re$-$written as
"The necessary and sufficient condition that the integer $n$ is even is $n^2$ must be even"
Let $p$ and $q$ be the statements given by
$p:$ the integer $n$ is even.
$q: n^2 $ is even.
The given statement is
$"p$ if and only if $q"$
In order to check its validity, we have to check the validity of the following statements.
  1. "If $p,$ then $q"$
  2. "if $q,$ then $p"$
Checking the validity of "if $p,$ then $q":$
The statement "if $p,$ then $q"$ is given by:
"If the integer $n$ is even, then $n^2$ is even"
Let us assume that $n$ is even. Then,
$n = 2m,$ where $m$ is an integer
$\Rightarrow n^2 = (2m)^2$ 
$\Rightarrow n^2 = 4m^2$ 
$\Rightarrow n^2$  is an even integer
Thus, $n$ is even $\Rightarrow n^2$ is even
$\therefore$ "if $p$, then $q"$ is true.
Checking the validity of "if $q$, then $p":$
"if $n$ is an integer and $n^2$ is even, 'then $n$ is even"
To check the validity of this statemens, we will use contrapositive method.
So, let $n$ be an odd integer. Then,
$n$ is odd
$\Rightarrow n = 2k + 1$ for some integer $k:$
$\Rightarrow n^2 = (2k + 1)^2$
$\Rightarrow n^2 = 4k^2 + 4k + 1$
$\Rightarrow n^2$  is not an even integer
Thus, $n$ is not even $\Rightarrow n^2$​​​​​​​ is not even
$\therefore$ "if $q,$ then $p"$ is true.
Hence, $"p$ if and only if $q"$ is true.

Show that the following statement is true by the method of contrapositive
p: "If $x$ is an integer and $x^2$ is odd, then $x$ is also odd"
Answer
Let $q$ and r be the statements given by
$q:$ lf $x$ is an integer and $x^2 $ is odd
$r: x$ is an odd integer.
Then, $p: "$ lf $q,$ thenr."
If possible, let $r$ be false. Then,
$r$ is false
$\Rightarrow x$ is not an odd integer
$\Rightarrow x$ is an even integer
$\Rightarrow x = (2n)$ for some integer $n$
$\Rightarrow x^2 = 4n^2$ 
$\Rightarrow x^2$​​​​​​​^ is an even integer
$\Rightarrow q$ is false.
Thus, r is false $\Rightarrow q$ is false.
Hence, $p:$ "if $q,$ then $r" $ is a true statement.

Metnod of contradiction: If possible, let $p$ be not true. Then,
$p$ is not true
$\Rightarrow $ -pis true
$\Rightarrow -(p \Rightarrow r)$ is true
$\Rightarrow q$ and $-r$ is true
$\Rightarrow x$ is a real number such that $x^3 + x = 0$ and $x = 0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=0$ and $\text{x}\not=0$
This a contradiction.

Write the component statements of the following compound statements and check whether the compound statement is true or false:
$x = 2$ and$ x = 3$ are the roots or the equation $3x^2 − x − 10 = 0.$
Answer
The component statements of the given compound statement are:
  1. $x = 2$ is the root or the equation $3x^2 - x - 10 = 0.$
  2. $x = 3$ is the root or the equation $3x^2 - x - 10 = 0.$
The connective used is "and". So, both component statements must be true for the compound statement to be true. The statement $"x = 3x = 3$ is the root or the equation $3x^2 - x - 10 = 0"$ is false. Therefore, the compound statement is false.

Show that the statement:
p: "If $x$ is a real number such that $x^3 + x = 0$, then $x$ is $0"$ is true by.
Method of contrapositive
Answer
Let $q$ and $r$ be the statements given $q : x$ is a real number such that $x ^3+ x =0$.
$r : x$ is $0$ .
Then, $p$ : if $q$, then $r$.
Method of contrapositive: Let $r$ be not true. Then, $r$ is not true.
$\Rightarrow x \neq 0, x \in R$
$\Rightarrow x\left(x^2+1\right) \neq 0, x \in R$
$\Rightarrow q$ is not true
Thus, $-r=-q$.
Hence, $p: q \Rightarrow r$ is true.
