The correct Answer is:
To check the validity of the statements given, we need to analyze each statement separately. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement (i) **Statement (i):** p: 125 is divisible by 5 and 7. 1. **Check divisibility by 5:** - A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 0 or 5. - Since 125 ends in 5, it is divisible by 5. - Therefore, **125 is divisible by 5** (True). 2. **Check divisibility by 7:** - To check if 125 is divisible by 7, we can perform the division: \[ 125 \div 7 = 17.8571 \quad (\text{not an integer}) \] - Since the result is not an integer, **125 is not divisible by 7** (False). 3. **Conclusion for Statement (i):** - Since p states that 125 is divisible by both 5 and 7, and we found that it is only divisible by 5, the statement is **False**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement (ii) **Statement (ii):** q: 131 is a multiple of 3 or 11. 1. **Check if 131 is a multiple of 3:** - A number is a multiple of 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. - The sum of the digits of 131 is: \[ 1 + 3 + 1 = 5 \] - Since 5 is not divisible by 3, **131 is not a multiple of 3** (False). 2. **Check if 131 is a multiple of 11:** - A number is a multiple of 11 if the alternating sum of its digits is divisible by 11. - For 131, the alternating sum is: \[ 1 - 3 + 1 = -1 \] - Since -1 is not divisible by 11, **131 is not a multiple of 11** (False). 3. **Conclusion for Statement (ii):** - Since q states that 131 is a multiple of 3 or 11, and we found that it is neither, the statement is **False**. ### Final Conclusion - Both statements p and q are **False**.

To check the validity of the statements given, we need to analyze each statement separately. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement (i) **Statement (i):** p: 125 is divisible by 5 and 7. 1. **Check divisibility by 5:** - A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 0 or 5. - Since 125 ends in 5, it is divisible by 5. ...
