Question

$p:x$ is odd, $q:x^2$ is odd, then the symbolic form of "$x$ is odd and $x^2$ is not odd", is

• A. $p\vee q$
• B. $p\wedge q$
• C. $(\sim p)\vee q$
• D. $p\wedge (\sim q)$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $p\wedge (\sim q)$

The required statement is "$p$ and not $q$"
The symbol $\wedge$ stands for "AND"
$\therefore p\wedge \sim q$
