The Total solution for NCERT class 6-12
Show that thefollowing statement is true“The integer n is even if and only if n2 iseven”
Let the statements,
p: Integer n is even
q: If n2 is even
Let p be true. Then,
Let n = 2k
Squaring both the sides, we get,
n2 = 4k2
n2 = 2.2k2
n2 is an even number.
So, q is true when p is true.
Hence, the given statement is true.
