Solution
The given statement is as follows.
q: The equation x2 – 1 = 0 does not have a root lying between 0 and 2.
This statement has to be proved false. To show this, a counter example is required.
Consider x2 – 1 = 0
x2 = 1
x = ± 1
One root of the equation x2 – 1 = 0, i.e. the root x = 1, lies between 0 and 2.
Thus, the given statement is false.
