The given statement is compound statement then components are,

P: All rational numbers are real.

~p: All rational numbers are not real.

q: All rational numbers are complex.

~q: All rational numbers are not complex.

(p ᴧ q)= All rational numbers are real and complex.

~ (p ᴧ q)=~p v ~q= All rational numbers are neither real nor complex.

(ii) All real numbers are rationals or irrationals.

The given statement is compound statement then components are,

P: All real numbers are rational.

~p: All real numbers are not rational.

q: All real numbers are irrational.

~q: All real numbers are not irrational.

(p ᴧ q)= All real numbers are rationals or irrationals.

~(p ᴧ q)=~p v ~q= All real numbers are neither rationals nor irrationals.

(iii) x = 2 and x = 3 are roots of the Quadratic equation x 2 – 5x + 6 = 0.

The given sentence is a compound statement in which components are

p: x = 2 is a root of Quadratic equation x2 – 5x + 6 = 0.

~p: x = 2 is not a root of Quadratic equation x2 – 5x + 6 = 0.

q: x = 3 is a root of Quadratic equation x2 – 5x + 6 = 0.

~q: x = 3 is not a root of Quadratic equation x2 – 5x + 6 = 0.

(p ᴧ q)= x = 2 and x = 3 are roots of the Quadratic equation x2 – 5x + 6 = 0.

~ (p ᴧ q)=~p v ~q= Neither x = 2 and nor x = 3 are roots of x2 – 5x + 6 = 0

(iv) A triangle has either 3-sides or 4-sides.

The given statement is compound statement then components are,

P: A triangle has 3 sides

~p: A triangle does not have 3 sides.

q: A triangle has 4 sides.

~q: A triangle does not have 4 side.

(p v q)= A triangle has either 3-sides or 4-sides.

~(p v q)=~p ᴧ ~q= A triangle has neither 3 sides nor 4 sides.
