Answer 2

Logic Equivalence. Negation of p means not p

Explanation:

Logic operations will help us to understand the following.

If we are given that p is a statement, then negation of p means not p.

It can be clear with the help of following example:

If p is 'Cricket is a game', then negation of p is given by 'Cricket is not a game'.

Negation p is represented by
`\sim p`.

If p is true, then negation p is false.

If p is false, then negation p is true.
