Solution

The correct option is D

x ϵ X,P Q


The symbolic representation of the quantifier "for every x” or "for each x” is x. while x symbolizes the "Existential quantifier” or the phrase "there exists an x”. . . .

Hence the statements ”Each of Rajat's students either scored distinction in chemistry or physics” can be represented as x ϵ X,P Q

Bonus:

Talking about symbols, the negation is given by the symbol ¬ which translates to "its not the case that”

e.g. ¬ x ϵ X,P Q: represents the statement "it is not the case that each of Rajat's students scored distinction in physics or chemistry."
