Each of the following true statements contains an implication. (i) For all a, bE Z, if a – b is even then a + b is even. (ii) For all A C N, if A is finite then A is infinite. Write down the converse of each statement and decide (with justifica- tion) whether it is true or false.

1.
(a) Each of the following true statements contains an implication.
(i) For all a, b E Z, if a – b is even then a + b is even.
(ii) For all A C N, if A is finite then Ac is infinite.
Write down the converse of each statement and decide (with justifica-
tion) whether it is true or false.
(b) Consider the statement: For all x, y, z E Z. At least one of x – y, x – z
and y
- z is even.
(i) Write down a roadmap for a proof of this statement by contradic-
tion.
(ii) Fill in the details of your roadmap to prove the statement.
