The contrapositive of $$\sim p \rightarrow ( q \rightarrow \sim r)$$ is
Report Question
0%
$$(~q \wedge r) \rightarrow ~p$$
0%
$$(q \rightarrow r) \rightarrow~p$$
0%
$$(q \vee ~r) \rightarrow ~ p$$
0%
None of these.
Explanation
The contrapositive of $$\sim p \rightarrow ( q \rightarrow \sim r)$$ is
$$\equiv \sim ( q \rightarrow \sim r) \rightarrow \sim (\sim p )$$
$$\equiv \sim (\sim q \vee \sim r) \rightarrow p \equiv (q \wedge r) \rightarrow p $$
Let $$S$$ be non-empty subset of $$R$$ then consider the following statement
"Every number $$\displaystyle x\: \epsilon \: S $$ is an even number."
Negation of the statement will be
Report Question
0%
There is no number $$\displaystyle x\: \epsilon \: S $$ which is even
0%
There exists a number $$\displaystyle x\: \epsilon \: S $$ which is not even
0%
There exists a number $$\displaystyle x\: \epsilon \: S $$ which is odd
0%
($$B$$) and ($$C$$) both
Explanation
The given statement implies $$x$$ in the set $$S$$ is always even. The negation of this means there exists $$x$$ in $$S$$ which is not even, or which is odd.
So, option $$D$$ is correct.

"If you will not top in the school, then you study hard".
0%
"If you study hard, then you will not top the school".
0%
"If you do not study hard, then you will top in the school".
Explanation
An equivalent statement of a compound statement, has the same meaning as the compound statement.
So, for the given compound statement, the equivalent statement is " If you study hard, then you will not top the school. "
Which of the following is equivalent to $$p\Longleftrightarrow q$$?
Report Question
0%
$$p\implies q$$
0%
$$q\implies p$$
0%
$$(p\implies q)\wedge(q\implies p)$$
0%
None of these
Explanation
The truth values of $$ p\Longleftrightarrow q $$ are equal to the truth values of $$ (p\Longrightarrow q)\wedge (q\Longrightarrow p) $$
So, they are equivalent.
The property $$p\wedge(q\vee r)\equiv(p\wedge q)\vee(p\wedge r)$$ is called

Write the negation of the statement "If the switch is on
, then the fan rotates".
Report Question
0%
"If the switch is not on, then the fan does not rotate".
0%
"If the fan does not rotate, then the switch is not on".
0%
"The switch is not on or the fan rotates".
0%
"The switch is on and the fan does not rotate".
Explanation
To find the negation of the statement, we find the opposite of the conclusion.
So, negation of the given statement is " If the switch is on, then the fan does not rotate"
The negation of the statement, "I go to school everyday", is
Report Question
0%
I never go to school.
0%
Some days, I do not go to school.
0%
Not all the days I do not go to school.
0%
All days I go to school.
Explanation
The negation or the opposite of the statement, " I go to school everyday" will be "Some days, I do not go to school" as there is a possibility of not going to school on some days rather than not going at all.

If ABCD is a square, then it is .not a rectangle.
0%
If ABCD is not a square, then i is a rectangle.
0%
if ABCD is a rectangle, then it is square.
0%
If ABCD is not a square, then it is not a rectangle.
Explanation
In the converse of a statement, we reverse the statements such that the meaning does not change.
So converse of the given statement is " If ABCD is a rectangle, then it is a square"

0%
Neither True nor False
0%
Cannot be determined
Explanation
The first statement $$ 2 \times 3 = 6 $$ is True.
But the second statement $$ 5 + 8 = 10 $$ is False.
Since the statements are connected using OR, the result will be True, if anyone of them is True.
Hence, truth value of the given statement is T.
The converse of converse of the statement $$p\implies\sim q$$ is

0%
$$\sim p\implies q$$
0%
$$p\implies\sim q$$
0%
$$\sim q\implies\sim p$$
Explanation
Converse of a converse of a statement will result in the original statement itself.
Hence, the answer is $$ p\Longrightarrow \sim q $$ which is the original statement itself.

All the above
Explanation
All the three given symbols satisfy the commutative law.
$$ p\wedge q\Leftrightarrow q\wedge p $$
$$p\vee q\Leftrightarrow q\vee p$$
$$(p\Leftrightarrow q)\Leftrightarrow (q\Leftrightarrow p)$$
In which of the following cases, $$p\Leftrightarrow q$$ is true?
Report Question

If $$\triangle{ABC}$$ is not equilateral, then it is isosceles.
0%
If $$\triangle{ABC}$$ is not equilateral, then it is not isosceles.
0%
If $$\triangle{ABC}$$ is not isosceles, then it is not equilateral.

For current to flow from $$ T $$ to $$ M $$, the line from T to M should be completely connected.
This can happen when both $$ p, q $$ are closed irrespective of $$ r $$ open or close.
And can happen when $$ r $$ is closed, and either of $$ p , q $$ is closed or open.
So All of the given options are answers.
