Solution

Note: A sentence is called a mathematically acceptable statement if it is either true or false but not both.

(1) The sentence ‘Paris is in France’ is a statement as Paris is located in France,
So the given sentence is true.

(2) The sentence ‘Each prime number has exactly two factors’ is a true statement. It is a mathematically proven fact that each prime number has exactly two factors,1 and the number itself.

(3) x2+|5|x+6=0|x|2+5|x|+6=0
|x|=2,3 that is not possible,
So it a true statement.

(4) The number 2+3 can be expressed as 2+3 +0i. So it is is a complex number whose imaginary part is 0

(5) The sentence ‘Is 6 a positive integer?’ is a question, so it is not a statement.

(6) The sentence ‘The product of 3 and 2 is 6’ is a statement.
But, the product of 3 and 2 not 6. So the given sentence is false.

(7)It is mathematically proven that the angles opposite to the equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal. So the given sentence is true, and it is a statement.

(8) The sentence ‘Oh! It is too hot’ is not a statement. It is an exclamation.

(9) The sentence ‘Monica is a beautiful girl’ is not a statement. The given sentence is an opinion; this can be true for some cases, false for some other case.

(10) The given sentence is a false statement.
Because not every quadratic equation will have a real root.
