उत्तर
The given statement can be written in the form of “if-then” as follows.
If a and b are real numbers such that a2 = b2, then a = b.
Let p: a and b are real numbers such that a2 = b2.
q: a = b
The given statement has to be proved false. For this purpose, it has to be proved that if p, then ∼q. To show this, two real numbers, a and b, with a2 = b2 are required such that a ≠ b.
Let a = 1 and b = –1
a2 = (1)2 = 1 and b2 = (– 1)2 = 1
∴ a2 = b2
However, a ≠ b
Thus, it can be concluded that the given statement is false.
