MATHEMATICAL REASONING MCQs
:
A
∼(p ∨ q)∨(∼p ∧ q)=(∼p ∧∼q) ∨ (∼ p ∧ q)=(∼ p ∧(q ∨∼q))=∼p
:
C
p⇒q is false only when p is true and q is false.
p⇒∼q is false when p is true and ~q is false i.e. when both p and q are true.
It can be seen that ∼q ∨∼p is false only when p and q are both true. Hence it is the equivalent of p⇒q
:
C
p: the earth is round
q: 3+4 =7
~p: It is not that the earth is round
~q: It is not that 3+4 =7
∼p ∨∼q: It is not that the earth is round or it is not that 3+4 =7
:
B
∼(p ∧ q)=∼p ∧∼q
Hence option B is false.
:
D
P: Ravi races
Q: Ravi wins
~Q: Ravi does not win
P ∨∼Q: Ravi races or Ravi does not win
∼(P ∨∼Q): It is not true that Ravi races or that Ravi does not win
:
C
∼((p ∨∼q)∧ q)=∼(p ∨∼q)∨∼q=(∼p ∧ q)∨∼q
:
C
The negation of the statement would be 'not all cats scratch' or there exists at a cat that does not scratch.
:
A and B
'There exists' is the existential quantifier and 'for all' is the universal quantifier
:
C
The negation of p⇒q is p ∧∼q
p: We control population
q: We prosper
p ∧∼q: We control population and we do not prosper
:
A
∼(p⇒q) is true only when p is true and q is false. Hence it is logically equivalent to p ∧∼q
