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

Answer

To express the statement "Pradeep and Ramesh are both rich" in symbolic form using the given definitions, we can follow these steps:

1. **Identify the statements**:
- Let \( p \): Ramesh is rich.
- Let \( q \): Pradeep is poor.

2. **Interpret the statement about Pradeep**:
- Since "poor" means "not rich", we can express Pradeep being poor as \( q \) (Pradeep is poor) and therefore, Pradeep being rich can be expressed as the negation of \( q \), which is \( \neg q \).

3. **Combine the statements**:
- We need to express "Pradeep and Ramesh are both rich". This means both Ramesh is rich and Pradeep is rich. In symbolic form, this can be written as:
\[ p \land \neg q \]
where \( \land \) represents the logical "and".

4. **Final symbolic representation**:
- Thus, the statement "Pradeep and Ramesh are both rich" can be represented symbolically as:
\[ p \land \neg q \]
