20. Component statements are


q : Chord of a circle lies within the circle (True)
r : Tangent of circle lies both outside and inside of circle (False)
In compound statement p basic connective And is used and it is true only when all component statement
are true.
So, compound statement p is false.
21. Component statements of p are
q : From a point outside the circle we can draw two tangents to a circle (True)
r : From a point inside the circle we can draw one tangent to circle (False)
In compound statement p basic connective OR is used, so p will be true if at least one component statement
is true, so compound statement is true.
22. Compound statements of p are
q : Solution of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 is real
r : Solution of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 is complex
We know that when q is true r is false and when r is true q is false, both cannot be true at a time. So Exclusive
OR is used.
23. (a)

In p quantifier is for every.


~p : For every natural number x, 7x is not greater than 7.

(b)

In q quantifier is There exists


~q : There does not exist a tangent which is chord to the circle.

24. (a)

p : If two circle touch other then we can draw three common tangents to both circle.
or
If three common tangent can be drawn to two circles then they touch each other.

(b)

q : If chord of a circle subtends an angle 90 in alternate segment then it is diameter.

25. A convex polygon is pentagon if and only if it has 5 diagonals.

Long Answer Type Questions :
31. Following are four types of sentences which are never considered as statement
Type-1 : Sentences involving variable time such as Today, tomorrow or Yesterday are not statements,
because it is not known what time is referred here.
Example : Tomorrow is Friday.
Type-2 : Sentences which are an order are never considered as statements.
Example : Bring a glass of water
Type-3 : Sentences which are exclamation are not considered as statements.
Example : Too smooth.
Type-4 : Sentences with pronouns unless a particular person is referred to.
Example : He is a football player
32. (a)

p contains pronoun here which refers to variable place, here it doesnot mention the place from which
we are measuring the distance of Hisar.

(b)

q is true only on Sunday but not on other days.

(c)

r is exclamation so it is not a sentence

33. (i)

~p : It is false that everyone in Europe plays football


or

35. We have the following rules regarding the connective AND.


Rule 1 : The compound statement with And is true if all its component statements are true.
Example : p : 110 is a multiple of 2, 5 and 55.
Component statements are
q : 110 is a multiple of 2 (True)
r : 110 is a multiple of 5 (True)
s : 110 is a multiple of 55 (True)
All component statements are true so statement p is True.

Rule-2 : The compound statement with And is false if any of its component statements is false (This includes
the case that some of its component statements are false or all of its component statements are false).
Example, p : 110 is multiple of 2, 3 and 5
Component statements are
q : 110 is a multiple of 2 (True)
r : 110 is a multiple of 3 (Flase)
s : 110 is a multiple of 5 (True)
Since all the component statements are not true. So p is false.
36. We have the following rules regarding the connective OR
Rule-1 : A compound statement with an OR is true when one component statement is true or if both the
component statements are true.
Example, p : 15 is an odd or prime number.
Component statements of p are
q : 15 is an odd number (True)
r : 15 is a prime number (False)
One of the component statement is true, so p is true
Rule-2 : A compound statement with an OR is false when the component statement are false.
Example : p : 15 is an even or prime number.
Component statements of p are
q : 15 is an even number (False)
r : 15 is a prime number (False)
Since both component statements are false, so p is false.
37. When connective OR is used in the sense of statement p or q or both, i.e., at least one of the two alternatives
we call it inclusive OR.
Example : A person who is graduate or has an experience of five years can apply for post of sales executive.
Here, in above example, A person who is graduate p and has an experience of five years can also apply, as
well as a person who is only graduate or only having a experience of five years can apply for sales executive.
So, this type of statements uses inclusive OR.

Mathematical Reasoning

(School/Board Exams.) Solutions

Now, when connective OR is used in the sense of statement p or q but not both i.e., exactly one of the
two alternative occurs is called exclusive OR
Example : p : All integers are even or odd.
Here all integers cannot be both even or odd.
If they are even then they are not odd and if they are odd then they are not even.
38. Following are the five different ways of writing p which convey the same meaning.
(i)

Two circles are apart from each other implies we can draw four common tangents to them.

(ii)

Knowing that two circles are apart from each other is sufficient to conclude that we can draw four common
tangents to them.

(iii) Two circles are apart from each other only if we can draw four common tangents to them.
(iv)

For two circles to be apart from each other it is necessary condition that we can draw four common
tangents to them.

(v)

If we cannot draw four common tangents to two circles then the two circles are not apart from each other.

39. Component statements of p are


q : A quadratic equation has real roots.
r : A quadratic equation has complex roots.
When statements q is true, r becomes false and when r is true q become false. So type of OR used in the
statement p is exclusive OR
So, at least one of the compound statement is true at a time
So, compound statement is true.
40. Component statements are
q : x3 is odd
r : x is odd.
We have to check whether the statement q r is true or not, that is, by checking its contrapositive
Statement i.e., ~q ~r.
Now, ~q : It is false that x3 is odd, then x3 is even
Then x3 = 2n for some integer n.
x3 is even so x is also even.

It shows that ~q is true.


41. Suppose p is not true. Then there exist an x 0, for which sinx + cosx < 1.
2

Since x 0, , neither sinx nor cosx is negative,


2
So, 0 sinx + cosx < 1

02 (sinx + cosx)2 < 12

02 sin2x + cos2x + 2sinx.cosx < 12

0 1 + 2sinx.cosx < 1

(School/Board Exams.) Solutions

Mathematical Reasoning

41

So, 1 + 2sinx cosx < 1


Subtracting 1 from both sides gives 2sinx.cosx < 0, but This contradicts the fact that neither sinx or cosx is
negative. So p is true
42. Let x be non-zero rational number and y be an irrational number. Then, we have to show that xy is an irrational
number. If possible let xy be a rational number. Since the quotient of two non-zero rational numbers is a rational
number.
So, xy is a rational number and x is a rational

xy
x is a rational number

y is a rational number

But, it contradicts the fact that y is an irrational number.


So, our assumption is wrong.
43. Let us assume that

3 is rational.

That is we can find integer a and b ( 0) such that

a
(where a and b are co-prime)
b

So, b 3 a
Squaring on both side
3b2 = a2
Since a2 is divisible by 3, so a is also divisible by 3.
Now, we can write
a = 3c

[for some integer c]

b 3 3c

3b2 = 9c2

b2 = 3c2

So, b is also divisible by 3,


So, a and b both have a common factor 3, which is the contradiction of fact that a and b are co-prime.
So, our assumption is wrong and p is true.
44. Counter example is
a = 12, b = 3, c = 4
12|3*4, but neither 12|3 nor 12|4.
45. Let
p : You pass NTSE Test
q : You will get scholarship
So, given statement is in the form of If p then q. In such case q is necessary condition for p.
So, you will get scholarship is necessary condition.
Also, p is a sufficient condition for q.
To get scholarship it is sufficient condition that you pass NTSE Test.

Exercise-14.5
1.

Let q : x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0


r : x is 0.
So, the statement p is in the form If q then r
(i)

Direct method : In this method we assume that q is true and prove that r is also true.
Let q be true

x3 + 4x = 0
x(x2 + 4) = 0

x = 0 or x2 + 4 = 0

However, since x is real, it is 0


So, statement r is true.
(ii)

Method of contradiction : In this method, we assume that p is not true.


So, let x be a real number such that x. + 4x = 0 and let x is not 0
So, x3 + 4x = 0
x(x2 + 4) = 0
x = 0 or x2 = 4

x is real, so x = 0, which is contradiction since we have assumed that x is not 0. So, the given
statement p is true.

(iii) Contrapositive method : In this method we assume that r is false and prove that q must be false.
So, we assume that x is not 0 (~r)
Now,
x3 + 4x = 0
x(x2 + 4x) = 0
(x2 + 4) is always positive, and x is not equal to zero,
So, x(x2 + 4) 0, so q is also not true.
Hence, statement p is valid.
2.

Let two real numbers a = 3 and b = 3

Contrapositive method :
Let x is not even i.e., x is odd
So, x = 2n + 1, where n is an integer
then x2 = (2n + 1)2
= 4n2 + 1 + 4n
= 4n(n + 1) + 1
= 2.2(n + 1) + 1
= Odd integer
So, x2 is even is false.
So, we proved that assuming that q is false we prove that p is also false.

r : 25 is a multiple of 5 and 8
All component statements of r is not true, so compound statement is not true.
Compound statement using OR is
s : 25 is a multiple of 5 or 8.
One component statement is true, so compound statement is true.

(i)

Let x be a rational number and y be an irrational number.


Let the sum of (x + y) is rational.
Now, we know that difference of two rational number is always a rational number.

(x + y) is a rational number and x is a rational numbers

(x + y) x is a rational number

y is a rational number

If contradicts the fact that y is an irrational number


So, (x + y) is an irrational number
So, given statement p is true.
(ii)

Assuming that n is a real number with n > 3, but n2 > 9 is not true.
So, n2 < 9
Now,

n>3

Squaring both side


n2 > (3)2
n2 > 9, which is contradiction, since we have assumed that n2 < 9.
So the given statement is true.

Following are the five different way of writing statement p.


(i)

A triangle is equiangular implies that it is an obtuse-angled triangle.

(ii)

A triangle is equiangular only if it is an obtuse-angled triangle.

(iii) For a triangle to be equiangular, it is necessary that the triangle is an obtuse-angled triangle.
(iv)

For a triangle to be an obtuse-angled triangle, it is sufficient that the triangle is equiangular.

(v)

If a triangle is not an obtuse-angled triangle, then the triangle is not equiangular.

Is statement. Sum of all exterior angle of a convex polygon is 360. So, sentence is false

(b)

It is not sentence, in month of December, this statement is true, but for other months it is false, so it
is ambiguous and cannot be categorized as sentence.

Definition : A compound statement is a statement which is made up of two or more statements. In this case,
each statement is called a component statement.
Example : p : Bicycle has two wheels and a car has four wheels.
This statement is made up of two component statement
q : Cycle has two wheels
r : Car has four wheels.

3.

Compound statements are


q : 185 is divisible by 5. (True)
r : 185 is divisible by 37. (True)
s : 18 is divisible by 19. (False)
Here connective And is used and all the component statements are not true, so it is not true.

4.

Example of exclusive OR statement


p : A function is even or odd.
Example of Inclusive OR statement.
p : A student who has taken mathematics or computer science can apply for M.Sc. (IT).

5.

If equal angles of a right angle triangle is 45 each then it is isosceles.

6.

5 is an integer and it is not a whole number


So, p is false.

Both component statements are true and basic connective used is OR


Compound statement p is also true.
9.

We have the following rules regarding the connective And.


Rule-1 : The compound statement with And is true if all its component statements are true.
Rule-2 : The compound statement with And is false if any of its component statements is false, it includes
the case that some of its component statements are false or all of its component statements are false.

10. (a)
(b)

Exclusive OR is used, since a person can avail either a discount of Rs 400 or a T-shirt not both on
purchase of two shirts from a shop.
Inclusive OR. Since its possible that a number is both integer and natural number.
Example : 4

11. (a)

Contrapositive : If a number is not a perfect number then sum of all factors of it is not twice the number
Converse : If a number is called perfect number then sum of all factors of it is twice the number.

(b)

Contrapositive : If two numbers x and y will not follow commutative property then they are not rational
number
Converse : If two number x and y will follow commutative property then they are rational number.

12. (i)
(ii)

p is true. Since chord is a line segment which joins any two points on the circumference of circle and
diameter is also satisfy this condition and it is longest.
q is false. If a quadrilateral is cyclic only then sum of its opposite angles is 180.

13. Check x = 2
(2)3 5(2)2 + 6(2) = 8 20 + 12
= 20 20
=0
So, 2 is a root of equation. Hence p is not true.
Long Answer Type Questions :
14. Following are the five different ways in which we can write statement p.
(i)

A quadrilateral is cyclic implies sum of its opposite angles is 180.

(ii)

Knowing that a quadrilateral is cyclic is sufficient to conclude that sum of its opposite angles is 180.

(iii) A quadrilateral is cyclic only if sum of its opposite angles are 180.
(iv)

Sum of opposite angle of quadrilateral is 180 is necessary for quadrilateral to be cyclic.

(v)

If sum of opposite angles of a quadrilateral is not 180, then it is not cyclic.

15. We know that contrapositive of the statement if p, then q is if ~q, then ~p.
Let both x, y z are not even i.e., they are odd
Then x = 2m + 1, where m is an integer.
y = 2n + 1, where n is an integer
Now,x y = (2m + 1) (2n + 1)
= 4mn + 2m + 2n + 1
= 2.(2m + m + n) + 1
= 2 + 1 (where  = 2m + m + n is an integer)
So, product of xy is odd, it is not even.
So, given statement is true, since we proved that it ~q then ~p.

16. Let square root of n be rational number


Now,

p
such that p and q have no common factor and q 0, p , q z
q

p
n
q

p2
n2
q2

p2 = nq2

So, n is a factor of p2

n is a factor of p.

Let p = nm for some natural number m.


Then p = nm
p2

nq2

...(i)

n2m2

= n2m2

q2 = nm2

n is factor of q2

n is factor q.

But n is a factor of p and n is a factor of q means n is a factor of both p and q. This contradicts our assumption
that p and q have no common factor. This means that our assumption is wrong.
Hence,
i.e.,

n cannot be a rational number

n is irrational.

If n is not a perfect square.

If discriminant of a quadratic equation is negative then its roots are non real.
If nth term of a progression is linear than it will be in A.P.

18. Let x be an irrational number. Then we have to show that x is also an irrational number. If possible, let x
be a rational number.
We know that negative of a rational number is also a rational number.
So, x is a rational number

(x) is a rational number

x is a rational number

It contradicts the fact that x is irrational.


Hence, x is an irrational number and statement p is true.
19. The necessary and sufficient condition that roots of a quadratic equation are equal is that its discriminant must
be equal to zero.
20. Let statements
p : A function is bijective
q : A function is both one-one and onto.
So, the given statement r is in the form of if p then q. We know that in such case q is necessary condition
for p.
So, necessary condition is Function is both one-one and onto.
Also, p is sufficient for q.
So, A function is bijective is sufficient condition for it to be one-one and onto.
