Question

Write the compound statement ‘Nagpur is in Maharashtra and Chennai is in Tamilnadu’ symbolically.

Hint:

In logic, the conjunction (\(\land\)) is used to represent "and," while the disjunction (\(\lor\)) is used to represent "or."

Answer 1

Step 1: Define the Propositions
Let:
- \( p \) denote "Nagpur is in Maharashtra."
- \( q \) denote "Chennai is in Tamil Nadu."
Step 2: Express the Compound Statement
Since the statement uses the word "and," we apply the logical conjunction (\(\land\)): \[ p \land q \]
