1 IB Mathematical Studies Logic Practice Name Note the markscheme is at the end!!!! 1. Police in a town are investigating the theft of mobile phones one evening from three cafés, Alan s Diner, Sarah s Snackbar and Pete s Eats. They interviewed two suspects, Matthew and Anna about that evening. Matthew said: I visited Pete s Eats and visited Alan s Diner and I did not visit Sarah s Snackbar Let p, q and r be the statements: p : I visited Alan s Diner q : I visited Sarah s Snackbar r : I visited Pete s Eats (a) Write down Matthew s statement in symbolic logic form. What Anna said was lost by the police, but in symbolic form it was (q r ) p Write down, in words, what Anna said. 2. In a particular school, students must choose at least one of three optional subjects: art, psychology or history. Consider the following propositions a: I choose art, p: I choose psychology, h: I choose history. (a) Write, in words, the compound proposition h ( p a).

If Feng does not go to the football match then Feng finishes his homework. 5. (a) Complete the following truth table. p q... p q T T F T F T F T F F F T Consider the propositions p: Cristina understands logic q: Cristina will do well on the logic test. Write down the following compound proposition in symbolic form. If Cristina understands logic then she will do well on the logic test Write down in words the contrapositive of the proposition given in part. 6. Consider the two propositions p and q.

The truth table for these compound propositions is given below. p q p q p p q T T T T T F F F F T T T F F T T Complete the column for p. (1) (d) State the relationship between the compound propositions p q and p q. (1) 7. Consider the following propositions p: The number is a multiple of five. q: The number is even. r: The number ends in zero. (a) Write in words (q r) p Consider the statement If the number is a multiple of five, and is not even then it will not end in zero. (i) (ii) Write this statement in symbolic form. Write the contrapositive of this statement in symbolic form. (6) (Total 9 marks) 8. Consider the statement p: IB Questionbank Mathematical Studies 3rd edition 4

5 If a quadrilateral is a square then the four sides of the quadrilateral are equal. (a) Write down the inverse of statement p in words. Write down the converse of statement p in words. Determine whether the converse of statement p is always true. Give an example to justify your answer. Consider the statement If the number is a multiple of five, and is not even then it will not end in zero. (i) (ii) Write this statement in symbolic form. Write the contrapositive of this statement in symbolic form. (6) (Total 9 marks) IB Questionbank Mathematical Studies 3rd edition 5
