Use p : Ramesh is rich , q : Pradeep is poor. Think of " poor " as " not rich " , and write each of these statements in symbolic form.
Ramesh is poor and pradeep is rich.

Answer

To express the statement "Ramesh is poor and Pradeep is rich" in symbolic form, we will use the given symbols:

- Let \( p \): Ramesh is rich.
- Let \( q \): Pradeep is poor.

Since "poor" is interpreted as "not rich," we need to find the negations of \( p \) and \( q \):

1. **Negation of \( p \)**:
- \( \neg p \): Ramesh is poor (since "poor" means "not rich").

2. **Negation of \( q \)**:
- \( \neg q \): Pradeep is rich (since "rich" means "not poor").

Now, we can combine these negations to express the given statement:

- The statement "Ramesh is poor and Pradeep is rich" can be written in symbolic form as:
\[ \neg p \land \neg q \]

Thus, the final symbolic representation of the statement is:
\[ \neg p \land \neg q \]
