Give three examples of sentences which are not statements. Give reasons for the answers

Solution:

The three examples of sentences, which are not statements, are as follows.

(i) a² is always greater than 1.

Unless, we know what a is, we cannot say whether the sentence is true or not.

Therefore, it is not a statement.

(ii) He is an engineer.

It is not evident from the sentence as to whom ‘he’ is referred to.

Therefore, it is not a statement.

(iii) Mathematics is easy.

This is not a statement because for some people, Mathematics may be difficult and for some others, it may be difficult.

Therefore, it is not a statement
