Negation of the conditional statement, ‘if it rains, then I shall go
to school’ is

A It rains and I shall go to school

B It rains and I shall not go to school

C It does not rains and I shall go to school

D None of the above

Negation of the conditional statement, ‘if it rains, then I shall go
to school’ is

A It rains and I shall go to school

B It rains and I shall not go to school

C It does not rains and I shall go to school

D None of the above

Solution:

Let p : It rains and q : I shall go to school

Thus, we have

Its negation is

Hence, it rains and I shall not go to school

The negation of ‘x ∈ R if and only if |x| ≥ 0’ is….

A {x ∈ R+ and |x| > 0} and {|x| > 0 and x ∈ R}

B {x ∈ R and |x| > 0} and {|x| ≥ 0 and x ∉ R}

C {x ∈ R and |x| ≥ 0} and {|x| ≥ 0 and x ∉ R}

D {x ∈ R+ and |x| > 0} and {|x| < 0 and x ∉ R}

The negation of ‘x ∈ R if and only if |x| ≥ 0’ is….

A {x ∈ R+ and |x| > 0} and {|x| > 0 and x ∈ R}

B {x ∈ R and |x| > 0} and {|x| ≥ 0 and x ∉ R}

C {x ∈ R and |x| ≥ 0} and {|x| ≥ 0 and x ∉ R}

D {x ∈ R+ and |x| > 0} and {|x| < 0 and x ∉ R}

Solution:
Here p : x ∈ R and q : |x| ≥ 0 are given statements.
Here p ⇔ q is a biconditional statement. Its negation is,
~(p ⇔ q) = ~[(p ⇒ q) ∧ (q ⇒ p)]
= ~(p ⇒ q) ∨ ~(q ⇒ p)
= (p ∧ (~q)) ∨ (q ∧ (~p))
Negation of given statement = {x ∈ R and |x| ≥ 0} or {|x| ≥ 0 and x ∉ R}.

A then they are not identical
If two triangles are not identical,
B then they are not similar
If two triangles are not identical,
C then they are similar

Solution:
Let, p : Two triangles are identical
q : Two triangles are similar
Clearly,the given statement in symbolic form is p → q.
Contrapositive of p → q is ~ q → ~p
i.e., If two triangles are not similar, then they are not identical.
