Question

Write negation of the following statement: It is snowing​

Answer 1

Therefore the Negation of " It is snowing." is

~ p : It is not snowing.

Explanation:

Negation:

• The connective word 'not' operates on only one statement. When it is used at a proper place in a given statement, it forms a new statement which has a meaning opposite to that of a given statement.
• This new statement is called the 'negation' of the given statement.
• The symbolic for "not" is ' ~ '. Thus if p is a statement then it's negation is denoted by ~ p and read as 'not p'.

Let p be the statement

p : It is snowing

Then its negation is

~ p : It is not snowing.

Therefore the Negation of " It is snowing." is

~ p : It is not snowing
