Solution

The component statement of the compound statement

To enter into a public library children need an identity card from the school or a letter from the school authorities.

are

p : To get into a public library children need an identity card.

q : To get into a public library children need a letter from the school authorities.

We know that if p and q are true then p or q must also be true.

Hence, the compound ststement is true.

(ii) The component statement of the compound statement.

All rational numbers are real and all real numbers are not complex.

are

p : All rational numbers are real

q : All real numbers are not complex.

We know that p is true and q is false.

The compound statement " p and q " is false .

(iii) The compound statement of the compound statement

Square of an integer is positive or negative.

are

p : Square of an integer is positive

q : Square of an integer is negative.

We know that if p and q are true then p or q must also be true.

Hence, the compound statement is true.

(iv) The compound statement of the compound statement

x = 2 and x = 3 are the roots of the equation 3x2x10=0.

are

p : x = 2 is a roots of the equation 3x2x10=0.

q : x = 3 is a roots of the equation 3x2x10=0.

Here, p is true but q is false.

The compound statement " p and q " is false.

(v) The component statement of the compound statement

The sand heats up quickly in the sun and does not cool down fast at night are

p : The sand heats up quickly in the sun

q : The sand does not cool down fast at night.

The compound statement p and q is false, because p is true and q is false.
