  ~ q   p  ~ p     p   ~ q  q  
Both these statements are always false.
Hence given statement is a contradiction.

7. (2)
Let p : number is prime
q : number is odd
Then given statement is p  q
Its inverse (converse) is ~ p ~ p
i.e. If a number is not prime then it is not odd.

8. (3)
(1) ~  p ~ q  ~ p  q [By Demorgan’s law]
(2)  p  q    ~ q   p   q ~ q  is a tautology as  q  ~ q  is tautology
(3)  p  q    ~ q   p   q ~ q is a contradiction as  q  ~ q  is a contradiction

Reflexive and transitive only
For example (3, 3), (6, 6), (9, 9), (12, 12) [reflexive]
(3, 6), (6, 12), (3, 12) [Transitive]
Clearly f  x  is not symmetric as (3, 9)  R but  9, 3  R

14. (2)
S   x, y  : y  x  1 & 0  x  2
Let x  0.1, 0.2, 0.3, .....1,1.1, 1.2, ....., 1.9
Then y  1.1, 1.2, ......1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, .....2.9
 S   x, y    0.1, 1.1 ,  0.2,1.2  ,  0.3, 1.30  .....
So many ordered pairs can be taken in S
Now,  0.1,1.1  R but  0.1, 1.1  S
 S is not reflexive as x  x  1
 S can not be equivalence relation
Again, T   x, y  : x  y is an integers
Now, T is reflexive
  x, x   x  x  0 is an integer
T is symmetric as  x, y   x  y is an integer
  y, x   y  x is also an integer
T is transitive also as  x, y   x  y is an integer
