Q1a Express the following symbolically where the universe is Z the set of integers. (i) There is no even prime number. (ii) Some square numbers are odd (iii) Not all the odd factors of sixty are prime. (5 Marks) Q1b Express the following in English and state its truth-value ∃ x [( even x ( ) ∧ m 5( ) x ∧ square x ( )]where m 5( x ) represents x is a multiple of 5 Negate ∃ x [( even x ( ) ∧ m 5( ) x ∧ square x ( )] Simplify your answer, express it in English and state its truth-value. (5 Marks) Q1c Determine the validity of the argument a → b a ∨ c ¬ b ∴ c using (i) a truth table (ii) the laws of logic (10 Marks)
Q2a 60 students may take up to 3 extra options for extra credits. 32 take option A, 40 option B, 32 option C 28 take A and B, 23 take A and C, 25 take B and C The number of students taking none of the options is the same as that taking only one of them. Illustrate this data on a Venn diagram and use your diagram to determine x, the number of students taking all three options. How many students elect to take no options.

Q2b Explain what is meant by the following terms for any general sets (^) A and (^) B. (i) P ( A ), the power set of A (ii) the set A × B (iii) a relation from A to B (iv) a function from A to B For the cases where | A | = 3 and | B | = 5, determine | P ( A ) |, | A × B | State the number of binary relations from A to B and the number of functions from A to B. State how many of these functions are injective and how many are surjective. (10 Marks)
Q3a T = {( a, b ), ( b, a ), ( b , c )} and V = {( a , b ), ( a, c ), ( b , d ), ( c , b )} are relations on the set { a , b ,c, d }. List the elements of TV , VT , V^2 , V^3.
