To show: cE IR, dné 2 Such that n< <n+1

ns <nt 1
(8) False
The statement is incorect as a fixed value of n enforces a least
per
bound and a greatest lower bound on the set of veal members which is
cs unbounded set. The following courter er cnple uffices for the proofi
Take 0 > nS o < n t 1 ’ n=0
Take 1 ns 1 < n t 1 ’ n =1
As a i x e d value ofn i s rot obtained, no suchn exists .
(c) Let p and y be two rational numbers, such tHot p< wlog
Consider r= P

Now, -p P-p

(E) Given that n' i odd
n =2k+ i, kE Z
’ 2k = n 1
= (n-1) (n'+ n 1)
= (n-1) ( n(n+ 1) + 1)
2 n(nt 1) (: Product of consecutive integers iseven)
’ nlo+ 1) + 1 is odd
Also, 2 2k
>n-1 muSt be even
’ n is odd
7. (a) Givern that ot 1 = 2m
As 2 n , n+ 1 must also be even
’n' is o dd
’n? = 2kt 1 , ke 2
’ 2k = ? 1
= (nt 1) (n-1)
1f n is even, both nt 1 and n-1 ae odd, and So is heir
product. But
2k us even,
n is odd.

As the ctecedart is true but not the conseuent,
the statement cs false.
