Let A = [2, 3, 5, 7]. Examine whether the statements given below are true or false.

(i) x A such that x + 3 > 9.


(ii) x A such that x is even.


(iii) x A such that x + 2 = 6.


(iv) x A, x is prime.


(v) x A, x + 2 < 10.


(vi) x A, x + 4 ≥ 11


A = [2, 3, 5, 7] (given in the question).


The given statement is: x A such that x + 3 > 9.


So, we need to see whether there exists ‘x’ which belongs to ‘A’, such that x + 3 > 9.


When x = 7 A,


x + 3 = 7 + 3 = 10 > 9


So, x A and x + 3 > 9.


So, the given statement is TRUE.


(ii) A = [2, 3, 5, 7] (given in the question).


The given statement is x A such that x is even.


So, we need to see whether there exists ‘x’ which belongs to ‘A’, such that x is even.


In the set A = [2, 3, 5, 7]


x = 2, is an even number and 2 A.


x A such that x is even.


So, the given statement is TRUE.


(iii) A = [2, 3, 5, 7] (given in the question).


The given statement is: x A such that x + 2 = 6.


So, we need to see whether there exists ‘x’ which belongs to ‘A’, such that x + 2 = 6.


x = 2 x + 2 = 4 ≠ 6


x = 3 x + 2 = 5 ≠ 6


x = 5 x + 2 = 7 ≠ 6


x = 7 x + 2 = 9 ≠ 6


So, the given statement is FALSE.


(iv) A = [2, 3, 5, 7] (given in the question).


The given statement is: x A, x is prime.


So, we need to see whether for all ‘x’ which belongs to ‘A’, such that x is a prime number.


All ‘x’ which belongs to A = [2, 3, 5, 7] is a prime number.


x A, x is prime.


So, the given statement is TRUE.


(v) A = [2, 3, 5, 7] (given in the question).


The given statement is: x A, x + 2 < 10.


So, we need to see whether for all ‘x’ which belongs to ‘A’, such that x + 2 < 10.


A = [2, 3, 5, 7]


x = 2 x + 2 = 4 < 10


x = 3 x + 2 = 5 < 10


x = 5 x + 2 = 7 < 10


x = 7 x + 2 = 9 < 10


x A, x + 2 < 10, is a TRUE statement.


(vi) A = [2, 3, 5, 7] (given in the question).


The given statement is: x A, x + 4 ≥ 11.


So, we need to see whether for all ‘x’ which belongs to ‘A’, such that x + 4 ≥ 11.


A = [2, 3, 5, 7]


x = 2 x + 4 = 6 ≥ 11


x = 3 x + 4 = 7 ≥ 11


x = 5 x + 4 = 9 ≥ 11


x = 7 x + 4 = 11 ≥ 11


Only for x = 7, x + 4 = 11 ≥ 11.


x A, x + 4 ≥ 11, is a FALSE statement.
