Important Questions on Statements patterns and Logical Equivalence
The statement is equivalent to

Among the statements
is a tautology
is a contradiction

Contrapositive of statement pattern is

Number of the form where is any positive integer are always odd number.

By giving a counter example, show that the following statement is false. If is an odd integer, then is prime.

Verify by the method of contradiction.
is irrational

Check whether the following statement is true or false by proving its contrapositive. If such that is odd, then both and are odd.

Check whether the following statement is true or not. If are such that and are odd, then is odd.

State whether the following statement is true or false.
The and relations are logically equivalent.

Show that and are logically equivalent.

Find if is a tautology or not.

Show that is a tautology.

Consider the statement:
for any real number , .
By giving a counterexample, prove that is false.

By giving a counterexample, show that the following statement is not true.
The equation does not have a root lying between .

Check the validity of the statement given below by the method given against it.
If is a real number with then (By contradiction method)

Show that the statement If is a real number such that then is is true by the method of contradiction.

Show that the statement If is a real number such that then is is true by the method of contrapositive.

Let If is an integer and is even, then is even. Using the method of contrapositive, prove that is true.

Check the validity of the compound statement using the direct method.
If is a number such that , then

Check the validity of the compound statement using the direct method.
If is a number such that , then
