Possible Answers:

Yes, the statements are equivalent

No, the equivalent statement is 

No, the equivalent statement is 

No, the equivalent statement is 

No, the equivalent statement is 

Correct answer:

No, the equivalent statement is 

Explanation:

The easiest way to remember DeMorgan's law is that you flip the symbol upside down (which changes union to intersection and vice versa), complement both sets (remembering that the complement of a complement is just that set), and either remove parentheses or add parentheses and place the complement symbol outside of it.

Flip the union symbol to an intersection symbol, complement both sets, and remove the parentheses.

Example Question #641 : Gre Subject Test: Math

Suppose A, B, and C are statements such that C is false if exactly one of A or B is true. If C is true, which of the following is also true?

Possible Answers:

Both A and B are both False

A is true, B is false

A is false, B is true

Both A and B are True

Correct answer:

Both A and B are both False

Explanation:

Step 1: Let's break down the logic problem...

C is false if A or B is True.

Example: C-False, A-True, B-False.

Step 2: Try to find what happens if C is true

If C is true, "or" changes to "and", and True becomes false..

So: C-True, A-False, B-False..

A and B must both be false for C to be true..

Answer: Both A and B are False.
