The correct Answer is:
To find the negation of the statement "If he is successful, then he will join either M.B.A. or C.A.", we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the components of the statement The statement can be broken down into two parts: - Let \( P \) be "He is successful." - Let \( Q \) be "He will join either M.B.A. or C.A." ### Step 2: Express the statement in logical form The original statement can be expressed in logical terms as: \[ P \implies Q \] This means "If \( P \) is true, then \( Q \) is also true." ### Step 3: Write the negation of the implication The negation of the implication \( P \implies Q \) can be expressed using the logical equivalence: \[ \neg(P \implies Q) \equiv P \land \neg Q \] This means that the negation of "If \( P \) then \( Q \)" is equivalent to saying " \( P \) is true and \( Q \) is false." ### Step 4: Determine the negation of \( Q \) Since \( Q \) is "He will join either M.B.A. or C.A.", the negation \( \neg Q \) would be: "He will not join either M.B.A. or C.A." ### Step 5: Combine the results Now, we combine our findings: - \( P \) is "He is successful." - \( \neg Q \) is "He will not join either M.B.A. or C.A." Thus, the negation of the original statement is: "He is successful and he will not join either M.B.A. or C.A." ### Final Answer The negation of the statement "If he is successful, then he will join either M.B.A. or C.A." is: "He is successful and he will not join either M.B.A. or C.A." ---
