Solution :-

(i) The component statements are

(a) Number 3 is prime

(b) Number 3 is odd

Here, both the statements are true

(ii) The component statements are

(a) All integers are positive

(b) All integers are negative

Here, both the statements are false.

(iii) The component statements are

(a) 100 is divisible by 3

(b) 100 is divisible by 11

(c) 100 is divisible by 5

Here, the statements (a) and (b) are false and (c) is true.
