1. Which of the following is a countably infinite set.
a) Real Numbers
b) Integers
c) Rational numbers
d) Irrational numbers
e) Complex number

Answer a

2) Statement r is true while s is false.
Which is false?

$ \begin{gathered} s \to r \hfill \\ \neg s \to r \hfill \\ \neg r \to s \hfill \\ \neg r \to \neg s \hfill \\ r \to \neg s \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $

Answer C

3) Which of the following statements is logically equivalent to $ \neg \left( {p \cup r} \right) $ ?

$ \begin{gathered} \neg p \cap \neg r \hfill \\ p \cup r \hfill \\ \neg (p \cup r) \hfill \\ \neg p \cup \neg r \hfill \\ \neg p \cap r \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $

Answer D

U 1,2,3...12 A=2,4,6,8,10 B=1,3,5,7,9 C=1,2,3,4

Which of the following set is specified by $ \mathop {(A \cap B)}\nolimits^1 $ where x denotes that c is a complement of x

Answer D

The answer should be A by DeMorgan's Theorem.

U 1,2,3...12 A=2,4,6,8,10 B=1,3,5,7,9 C=1,2,3,4

1,2,3,4
11,12
0
1...9
5...12

Answer B

question (1) has been answered correctly,and also the 1st part of question (3).

Now for question (2) we have that:

only ( T----->F) is false. All other possibilities are true.

According to that none of the cases in question 3 are false unless there is a typo mistake.

For the 2nd part of question 3 we have that:

A $\cap B$ ={ 2,4,6,8,10} $\cap{ 1,3,5,7,9}$ =Φ( the empty set).

And : (A $\cap B$ )'= Φ' = U

My sentence:

(only ( T----->F) is false. All other possibilities are true)

was referring to the possibilities of T,F In a conditional statement in propositional logic.

The above emanates from the definition of a conditional statement.

Now coming to your case :

Do you want to know :

a) whether the conditional r------>~s is true ,or

b) r logically implies ~s .

Finally the correct statement is;

None of the dogs is a reptile
