Given the sentence P is _______ for Q, fill the blank for each of the above pair of statements
with the appropriate phrase “necessary”, “sufficient”, “both necessary and sufficient”, “neither
necessary nor sufficient”.
5. Fill in the blank with “if”, “only if” or “if and only if” for the following:
(i) 𝑥 = √4 _____ 𝑥 = 2.
(ii) 𝑥 2 > 0 _____ 𝑥 > 0.
(iii) 𝑥(𝑥 2 + 1) = 0 _____ 𝑥 = 0.
(iv) 𝑥 ∈ ℤ _____ 𝑥 ∈ ℝ
𝑑𝑓(𝑥)
(v) = 0 _____ 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑐
𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑦
(vi) > 0 _____ y is strictly increasing with respect to x.
𝑑𝑥
(vii) lim𝑥→𝑎− 𝑓(𝑥) = lim𝑥→𝑎+ 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑎) _____ 𝑓(𝑥) is continuous at x = a
(viii) 𝑋 ⊆ 𝑌 _____ 𝑌 𝑐 ⊆ 𝑋 𝑐 where the c superscript refers to the complement of the set.
(ix) log 𝑥 < 0 _____ 0 < 𝑥 < 1
8. The survey of 300 companies using different advertisement media, newspaper (N), radio (R)
and television (T) provides the following data:
n(N) = 200, n(R) = 100, n(T) = 40, 𝑛(𝑁 ∩ 𝑅) = 50, 𝑛(𝑅 ∩ 𝑇) = 20, 𝑛(𝑁 ∩ 𝑇) = 25 and
𝑛(𝑁 ∩ 𝑅 ∩ 𝑇) = 5.
(i) How many companies use none of these media?
(ii) How many companies use exactly one form of media?
10. A survey reveals that 50 persons like coffee and 40 like tea. Thirty five liked both tea and
