Answer»

(i) Let p: A line is straight.

And q: A line extends indefinitely in both the directions.

Both the sentences are True.

Therefore, the given sentence is TRUE.

(ii) Let p: A point occupies a position.

And q: Its location can be determined.

Both the sentences are True.

Therefore, the given sentence is TRUE.

(iii) Let p: The sand heats up quickly in the sun.

And q: The sand does not cool down fast at night.

Both the sentences are True.

Therefore, the given sentence is TRUE.

(iv) Let p: 32 is divisible by 8.

And q: 32 is divisible by 12.

The first sentence is True and the second sentence is False.

Therefore, the given sentence is FALSE.

(v) Let p: x = 1 is a root of the equation x2 – x – 2 = 0

And q: x = 2 is a root of the equation x2 – x – 2 = 0

The first sentence is False and the second sentence is True.

Therefore, the given sentence is FALSE.

(vi) Let p: 3 is rational.

And, q: √3 is irrational.

Both the sentences are True.

Therefore, the given sentence is TRUE.

(vii) Let p: All integers are rational numbers.

And, q: All rational numbers are not real numbers.

The first sentence is True and the second sentence is False.

Therefore, the given sentence is FALSE.

(viii) Let p: Lucknow is in Uttar Pradesh.

And q: Kanpur is in Uttarakhand.

The first sentence is True and the second sentence is False.
