The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements is/are false, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Statement p: "137 is an integer or rational number." 1. **Analysis**: - 137 is a whole number, which means it is an integer. - All integers are also rational numbers because they can be expressed as a fraction (e.g., \( \frac{137}{1} \)). 2. **Conclusion**: - This statement is **true**. ### Statement q: "Birds have wings or the color of the sky is blue." 1. **Analysis**: - The first part of the statement, "Birds have wings," is true because all birds possess wings. - The second part, "the color of the sky is blue," is generally true during a clear day but can be false during other times (e.g., at night or when it’s cloudy). - However, since the statement uses "or," it only requires one part to be true for the entire statement to be true. 2. **Conclusion**: - This statement is **true**. ### Statement r: "One of every three consecutive integers is divisible by 3 or the product of every two consecutive integers is odd." 1. **Analysis**: - Let's break this down into two parts: - **Part 1**: "One of every three consecutive integers is divisible by 3." - Consider three consecutive integers: \( n, n+1, n+2 \). - Among these, one will always be divisible by 3. For example: - If \( n = 3k \) (where \( k \) is an integer), then \( n \) is divisible by 3. - If \( n = 3k + 1 \), then \( n + 2 \) is divisible by 3. - If \( n = 3k + 2 \), then \( n + 1 \) is divisible by 3. - Therefore, this part is **true**. - **Part 2**: "The product of every two consecutive integers is odd." - For any two consecutive integers \( n \) and \( n+1 \), one of them will always be even (e.g., if \( n \) is even, \( n+1 \) is odd, and vice versa). - The product of an even number and any other integer (even or odd) is always even. - Therefore, this part is **false**. 2. **Conclusion**: - Since the first part of statement r is true but the second part is false, the overall statement is **false**. ### Final Conclusion: - Statement p is true. - Statement q is true. - Statement r is false. Thus, the answer is that **statement r is false**. ---
