Question

Express the following statement in symbolic form and write its truth value.

"If 4 is an odd number, then 6 is divisible by 3 "

Solution

Let p:4 is an odd number

     q:6 is divisible by 3

Thus symbolic form of the given statement is p →  q

Clearly truth values of p is F and q is T.

Truth value of p → q is  F → T ≡ T
