Solution

(i) The statement is :

"100 is a multiple of 4 and 5."

We know that 100 is a multiple of 4 as well as 5. So, p is true statement.

Hence, the statement is true i.e. the statement "p"

is a valid statement.

(ii) The statement is :

"125 is a multiple of 5 and 7"

Since 125 is a multiple of 5 but it is not a multiple of 7. So, q is not a true statement i.e. the statement "q" is not a valid statement.

(iii) The statement is :

r : 60 is a multiple of 3 or 5

is a compound statement of the following statements :

p : 60 is multiple of 3

q : 60 is multiple of 5

Suppose q is false. That is, 60 is not a multiple of 5. Clearly p is true.

Thus, if we assume that q is false, then p is true.

Hence, the statement is true i.e. the statement "r" is a valid statement.
