Question
Express the following statement in symbolic form and write its truth value.
"If 4 is an odd number, then 6 is divisible by 3 "
Advertisements
Solution
Let p:4 is an odd number
q:6 is divisible by 3
Thus symbolic form of the given statement is p → q
Clearly truth values of p is F and q is T.
Truth value of p → q is F → T ≡ T
