MCQ Questions for Class 11 Engineering Maths Mathematical Reasoning Quiz 9

Check the validity of the following statement:

$p:60$ is a multiple of

$3$ and

$5$

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

$r:60$ is a multiple of

$3\quad (3\times 20) \rightarrow True$

$s:60$ is a multiple of

$5\quad (5\times 12) \rightarrow True$

$True \wedge True \implies True$

$r \wedge s \implies True$

Hence

$p$ is true

Check whether the following statements are true or not :

$p:$ If

$x,y$ are integers such that

$xy$ is even, then at least one of

$x$ and

$y$ is an even integer.

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

$p:$ If

$x$ and

$y$ are integers such that

$xy$ is even then atleast one of

$x$ and

$y$ is an even integer.

Let

$q$ and

$r$ be two statements.

Here,

$q:xy$ is an even integer.

$r:$ Atleast one of

$x$ and

$y$ is an even integer.

Let

$r$ be not true.

It is false that atleast one of

$x$ and

$y$ is an even integer.

Now,

$x$ and

$y$ are odd integers.

$x=2m+1$ and

$y=2n+1$ for same integers

$m$ and

$n$

$\Rightarrow xy=(2m+1)(2n+1)$

$\Rightarrow xy=2(2mn+m+n)+1$

so,

$xy$ is not an even integer. Then,

$xy$ is not true.

Hence, the statement is true.

So, the option

$A$ is correct.

Check whether the following statements are true or not :

$p:$ If

$x$ and

$y$ are odd integers, then

$x+y$ is an integer.

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

Let

$p : x$ and

$y$ are odd integers .

$q : x+y$ is an integer .

Then , given statement is : if

$p$ , then

$q$ .

Let

$p$ is true .

Hence

$x$ and

$y$ are odd integers .

Let

$x = 2m+1$ and

$y =2n+1$ then ,

$x+y = 2m+1 + 2n + 1 = 2(m+n) + 2$ .

Which is an integer.

Hence,

$q$ is true.

That is ,

$p$ is true implies

$q$ is true

"If

$p$ then

$q$ " is true .

The given statement is true.

Check the validity of the following statement:

$p:100$ is a multiple of

$4$ and

$5$

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

$True \wedge True \implies True$

$r:100$ is a multiple of

$4\rightarrow$ TRUE

$(4\times 25)$

$s:100$ is a multiple of

$5\rightarrow$ TRUE

$(5\times 20)$

$r \wedge s \implies T$

Hence

$p$ is true

Determine whether the argument used to check the validity of the following statement is correct.

$p:$ If

$x^{2}$ is irrational, then

$x$ is rational'
The statement is true because the number

$x^{2}=\pi^{2}$ is irrational, therefore

$x=\pi$ irrational.

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

Here, the argument used is,

$x^2=\pi^2$ is irrational, therefore

$x=\pi$ is irrational and,

$p:$ " If

$x^2$ is irrational, then

$x$ is rational.

Let us take an irrational number given by

$x=\sqrt n$ ,

where

$n$ is a rational number.

Now, square both sides, we get,

$x^2=k$

Therefore,

$x^2$ is a rational number, which contradicts our statement.

Hence, the argument used to check validity of given statement is false.

Which of the following is NOT equivalent to

$p\rightarrow q$ ?

0%
p only if q
0%
q is necessary for p
0%
q only if p
0%
p is sufficient for q

Explanation

$q$ only if

$p$ is a statement that says if

$q$ is true then

$p$ is true.

This is not equivalent to

$p \rightarrow{} q$ . This non-equivalency can be checked by letting

$p$ be a true statement and

$q$ be a false statement. With these values, the statement

$p \rightarrow{} q$ is false but the statement

$q$ only if

$p$ is true.

Negation of the statement:

$\sqrt{5}$ is an integer or

$5$ is irrational is?

0%
$\sqrt{5}$ is not an integer or $5$ is not irrational
0%
$\sqrt{5}$ is not an integer and $5$ is not irrational
0%
$\sqrt{5}$ is irrational or $5$ is an integer
0%
$\sqrt{5}$ is an integer and $5$ is irrational

Explanation

Let

$p=\sqrt5$ is an integer

$\Rightarrow$

$\sim p=$

$\sqrt5$ is not an integer

$q= 5$ is irrational

$\Rightarrow$

$\sim q=$

$5$ is not an irrational

$\sqrt{5}$ is not an integer and

$5$ is not an irrational number

$\{\sim (p \vee q) = \sim p \wedge \sim q\}$

The equivalent form of the statement

$\sim(p\rightarrow \sim q)$ is ________.

0%
$p\wedge q$
0%
$p\wedge \sim q$
0%
$p\vee \sim q$
0%
$\sim p\vee q$

Explanation

We have

$a \rightarrow b = \sim a \vee b$

$\therefore\ p \rightarrow \sim q = \sim p \vee \sim q$

$\Rightarrow\ \sim (p \rightarrow \sim q) = \sim (\sim p \vee \sim q)$

$= \sim (\sim (p \wedge q))$ .... De Morgan's Law

$= p \wedge q$ .... Complement Law

_________________________ [OR] ____________________________

We can also solve it using Truth Table

$p$	$q$	$\sim p$	$\sim q$	$p \wedge q$	$p \wedge \sim q$	$p \vee \sim q$	$\sim p \vee q$	$p \rightarrow \sim q$	$\sim (p \rightarrow \sim q)$
$0$	$0$	$1$	$1$	$0$	$0$	$1$	$1$	$1$	$0$
$0$	$1$	$1$	$0$	$0$	$0$	$0$	$1$	$1$	$0$
$1$	$0$	$0$	$1$	$0$	$1$	$1$	$0$	$1$	$0$
$1$	$1$	$0$	$0$	$1$	$0$	$1$	$1$	$0$	$1$

So from column

$5$ and

$10$ we can write that,

$\sim (p \rightarrow \sim q) = p \wedge q$

The statement pattern

$(p\wedge q)\wedge [\sim r\vee (p\wedge q)]\vee (\sim p\wedge q)$ is equivalent to _________.

0%
r
0%
q
0%
$p\wedge q$
0%
p

Explanation

$(p\wedge q)\wedge [\sim r\vee (p\wedge q)]\vee (\sim p\wedge q)$

We will now use absorption law

$[(a\vee b)\wedge a=a]$ for first 2 bracket.

$(p\wedge q)\vee (\sim p \wedge q)$

Now by using disrtibutive law we get

$( p \vee\sim p) \wedge q$

$1\wedge q$

$q$

Tell if the following statement is true or false. In case give a valid reason for saying so

$p:$ If

$x$ and

$y$ are integers such that

$x>y$ . then

$-x<-y$ .

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

Given

$x>y$

Multiply both sides by

$-1$

$-x<-y$

$\therefore$ both statements true.

Tell if the following statement is true or false. In case give a valid reason for saying so

$p:$ Each radius of a circle is a chord of the circle.

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

This statement is false.

By definition the chord,

It should intersect the circle in two points.

$OB$ and

$OC$ are the radius of circle.

But they dont intersect the circle at two points.

Hence

$OB$ &

$OC$ are not the chord of a circle.

So, option

$B$ is correct.

Explanation

${\textbf{Step -1: After applying associative and distributive law}}$

$\text{Given, } \left( {p \wedge q} \right) \vee \left( { \sim p \wedge q} \right) \vee \left( { \sim q \wedge r} \right)$

Disjunction of two statements p and q is denoted by

0%
$p \leftrightarrow q$
0%
$p \rightarrow q$
0%
$p \leftarrow q$
0%
$p \vee q$

If p and q are mathematical statements, then in order to show that the statement p and q is true, we need to show that:

0%
The statement p is true and the statement q is not true
0%
The statement p is false and the statement q is true.
0%
The statement p is true and the statement q is false
0%
The statement p is true and the statement q is true

An implication or conditional "if p then q "is denoted by

0%
$p \vee q$
0%
$p \rightarrow q$
0%
$p \leftarrow q$
0%
None of these

$[(p)\wedge q]$ is logically equivalent to

0%
$(p\vee q)$
0%
$[p\wedge(q)]$
0%
$p\wedge(q)$
0%
$p\vee(q)$

Explanation

$\Rightarrow [(P)^q]$

Here, '

$\wedge$ ' means 'and', if we remove the brackets, the sign gets reversed into '

$\vee$ ' which is 'or'.

$\rightarrow (p) \vee q = p \wedge (q)$

Hence, option (C) is correct.

Name the technique used in the solution of the problems below :

Question: Show that the following statement is false: If n is an odd integer, then n is prime.

Solution: The given statement is in the form “if p then q” we have to show that this is false, If p then ~q.

If n= 99 is odd integer which is not a prime number. Thus, we conclude that the given statement is false.

Explanation

Given : The given statement is in the form "if p then q" we have to show that this is false. If p then

$\sim q$ .

$n = 99$ is odd integer which is not a prime number. Thus, we conclude that the given statement is false.

So, we need to justify that the statements is false. Now, compound statements are,

$p : n$ is an odd integer

$q : n$ is prime

Now, let assume

$n = 99$

So,

$n = 2m +1$ which states as odd integer

$n$ is

$99$ then

$n = 2 \times 4 +1$

We know that prime number is a number which is divisible by itself and unity.

Here, if we break

$99$ in multiples then it

$99 = 9 \times 11$ , which states that it has a multiple including the number itself and unity.

So,

$99$ is odd integer but not prime.

And we know that, a mathematical statement has two parts: a condition and a conclusion. However, showing that a mathematical statement is false only requires finding one example where the statement isn't true.

So, such example is called counter examples as it goes against, the statement's conclusion.

$\therefore$ Option A is correct.
