Q) → Q? Explain your answer.
(iii) Is the following a true statement? 3 > 2 if and only if 0 < 3 − 2.
(II) Determine whether the following inference pattern is valid or invalid. If

the inference pattern is invalid, indicate a combination of truth values
which will produce counterexample. f the inference pattern is valid,
produce some evidence which will confirm validity. (Note that the
notation ⊢ indicates, conclusion [hence or therefore]) (2 marks)
(i) (P ∧ Q) → ¬T, W ∨ R, W → P, R → Q ⊢ (W ∨ R) → ¬T .

(i) Show that the hypotheses: It is not sunny this afternoon and it
is colder than yesterday.
We will go swimming only if it is sunny.
If we do not go swimming, then we will take a canoe trip.
If we take a canoe trip, then we will be home by sunset.
These lead to the conclusion:
We will be home by the sunset.
(ii) If the graphs are isomorphic, then they have the same number of
edges.
The graphs have different number of edges.
These lead to the conclusion: ???
5
CS201
(iii) The Loksabha President call a special session only if the Senate
can not reach a compromise.
If a majority of the cabinet are in agreement, then the Loksabha
President will call a special session.
The Senate can not reach a compromise.
Therefore, a majority of the cabinet are in agreement.
(iv) If Ajay is not reelected, then Vijay will lose its air base.
Ajay will be reelected if and only if Vijay votes for him.
If Vijay keeps its air base, Ajay will be reelected.
Hence, Ajay will be reelected
(v) If a pair of angles A and B are right angles, then they are equal.
The angles A and B are equal.
Hence, the angles A and B must be right angles.
(IV) Answer the following questions. (5 marks)
(a) It is observed that 73% students are interested in Mathematics

and 83% students are interested in Computer Sciences. Let us as-
sume that p% students are interested in both the subjects. Then
can we claim the p is not less than 56 and not greater than 73?
Support your answer.
(b) A placement organization observed that, in last year, there were
three sections (A, B and C) in a free mock Amazon placement
paper. Out of them 33 participants cleared the cut-off in Section
1, 34 participants cleared the cut-off in Section 2 and 32 cleared
the cut-off in Section 3. 10 participants cleared the cut-off in
Section 1 and Section 2, 9 cleared the cut-off in Section 2 and
Section 3, 8 cleared the cut-off in Section 1 and Section 3. The
number of participants who cleared each section alone was equal
and was 21 for each section. Then a) how many participants
cleared all the three sections? B) how many participants cleared
only one of the three sections?
