b) What time is it? It is not propositions because we can not give true or false value to this statement  c) There are no black flies in Maine. yes , its a propositions  d) 4 + x = 5. No, its not propositions because it is true for some value and false for others  e) The moon is made of green cheese. yes, its propositions  f) 2≥100. No, for the same reason  g) Kochi is the capital of Kerala state. yes, we can give true or false value to it  h) 2 + 3 = 5. yes , its a propositions  i) 5 + 7 = 10. yes , its a propositions  j) Answer this question.

Answer:a) Falseb) Falsec) Trued) Truee) Falsef) Falseg) Trueh) Falsei) FalseExplanation:a) Do not pass go. − This is not a proposition because it is a command rather than a statement with a truth value.b) What time is it? − This is not a proposition because it is a question and does not express a statement with a truth value.c) There are no black flies in Maine. − This is a proposition. Let&#039;s assume it is true.d) 4+x=5. − This is a proposition. Let&#039;s solve it: 4+x=5⟹x=1. Therefore, the truth value of this proposition is true.e) The moon is made of green cheese. − This is a proposition. Let&#039;s assume it is false.f) 2≥100. − This is a proposition. However, 2 is not greater than or equal to 100, so the truth value of this proposition is false.g) Kochi is the capital of Kerala state. − This is a proposition. Let&#039;s assume it is true.h) 2+3=5. − This is a proposition. However, 2+3 is not equal to 5, so the truth value of this proposition is false.i) 5+7=10. − This is a proposition. However, 5+7 is not equal to 10, so the truth value of this proposition is false.j) Answer this question. − This is not a proposition because it is a command rather than a statement with a truth value.
