Answers: Exercise 3

I.
1. a  b
2. a  d
3. b → d
4. c  b

II.
1. The number ends with 2 or 5.
2. If the number is divisible by 6, then the number is divisible by 3 and ends with 2.

III.
1. −15 > −15 False

2. 8 − 3 = 11 or 5 is an odd number True

8 − 3 = 11 - False or 5 is an odd number - True
False ∨ True = True
Answer: True

3. 1 = 0 and 15 is divisible by 3
1 = 0 False and 15 is divisible by 3 True
False ∧ True = False
Answer: False

4. If a square has 4 equal sides, then a rectangle has two diagonals.

a square has 4 equal sides – True
a rectangle has two diagonals – True
a square has 4 equal sides → a rectangle has two diagonals
True → True
Answer: True

5. A triangle has one diagonal, if and only if a square has 4 equal sides.
a triangle has one diagonal – False
a square has 4 equal sides – True
a triangle has one diagonal ↔ a square has 4 equal sides
False ↔ True
Answer: False

IV.
1. q ∨ (r∧ ∼ q) when q is TRUE and r is FALSE
q ∨ (r∧ ∼ q) = True ∨ ( False ∧ ∼ True)
= True ∨ ( False ∧ False)
= True ∨ False
Answer: True
2. [∼ (p → q)] ↔ (p∧ ∼ q) when p and q are FALSE
[∼ (False → False)] ↔ (False ∧ ∼ False)
[∼ (True)] ↔ (False ∧ True)
False ↔ False
Answer: True

3. (∼ p∨ ∼ q) → [(r ↔∼ q) ∧ p] when p is TRUE, q is TRUE, and r is FALSE

(∼ True ∨ ∼ True) → [(False ↔∼ True) ∧ True]
(False ∨ False) → [(False ↔ False) ∧ True]
False → [(True) ∧ True]
False → True
Answer: True
