In each of the following statements, n represents a positive integer. One of the statements is true and the other two are false.  If n is even, then n is not prime  if n is a square number, then n is not prime  if n is a prime number and n ≥ 10, then n+2 is prime or n+4 is prime.  A. What two statements are false and in each case give a counter example to show that it is false  B. Prove the true statement
