Q-2

In each of the following implications, where x, y, and z are numbers, decide: (i) if the implication is

true; and (ii) if the converse implication is true.

(a) x = √4 ⇒ x = 2

(b) (x = 2 and y = 5) ⇒ x + y = 7

(c) (x − 1)(x − 2)(x − 3) = 0 ⇒ x = 1

(d) x2 + y2 = 0 ⇒ x = 0 or y = 0

(e) (x = 0 and y = 0) ⇒ x2 + y2 = 0

(f) xy = xz ⇒ y = z
