The correct Answer is:
To translate the given sentence into symbols, we will follow these steps: 1. **Identify the Statements**: - Let \( p \): "Question paper is hard." - Let \( q \): "I will fail in the examination." 2. **Negate the Statements**: - "I will not fail in the examination" translates to \( \neg q \) (the negation of \( q \)). - "Question paper is not hard" translates to \( \neg p \) (the negation of \( p \)). 3. **Formulate the Conditional Statement**: - The sentence "If I will not fail in the examination, then question paper is not hard" can be expressed as: - If \( \neg q \) (I will not fail), then \( \neg p \) (the question paper is not hard). 4. **Use the Implication Symbol**: - The implication "If \( \neg q \), then \( \neg p \)" is represented as: - \( \neg q \implies \neg p \). 5. **Final Symbolic Representation**: - Therefore, the complete translation of the sentence into symbols is: - \( \neg q \implies \neg p \).
