Check whether the following statement is true or not :
If x and y are odd integers, then xy is an odd integer.'

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We assume that p is true and show that q is true p is true means x and y are odd integers. Then ,
x=2m+1 for some integer m and y =(2n+1) for some integer n,
∴xy=(2m+1)(2n+1)
=(4mn+2m+2n+1)
=2(2mn+m+n)+1,
which is clearly odd.
Thus, p⇒q.
