Hi Folks,
I am stack with following task:What is the value of x after each of these statements is encountered in a
computer program if x=2 before the statement is reached?

(i) if (6+2=9) then x:=x+1 .
(ii) if ((3+2=5) OR (2+3=3))then x:=x+1 .
(iii) if ((12+4=17) AND (4+5=9)) then x:=x+1.

Note 1 OR is ∨ AND is ^
Note 2 := is an assignment sign.Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

(i) false
(ii) false
(III) false

(i) false
(ii) false
(III) false

(ii) is incorrect. The first part of the OR is true, making the entire OR true. So, which THEN parts will execute?
 
tell me please the answer is 3:)
