Question

Determine whether the compound condition is True or False.

4<3 and 5 < 10
4 < 3 or 5 < 10
not (5<13)

Answer 1

The given compound conditions would be considered true or false as follows:

i). 4 < 3 and 5 < 10 - False

ii). 4 <3 or 5 < 10 - True

iii). not (5 > 13) - True

i). 4 < 3 and 5 < 10 would be considered false and the reason behind this is that the logical operator 'and' implies that both are equivalent but here 4 < 3 is incorrect as it differentiates from the meaning conveyed in 5 < 10

ii). In the second statement i.e. 4 <3 or 5 < 10, 'or' is the correct logical operator because one of the parts i.e. 5 < 10 is actually true while the latter is false.

iii) In the next part "not (5 > 13)" is also true as it adequately uses the operator 'not' to imply that 5 is not bigger than 13 which implies it to be true.
