Hint
How many statements do you choose true, and how many statements do you choose false?Answer
You can't choose true in both statements 1 and 2, at least one of them must be false. Similar logic exists in statements 3 and 4, and 5 and 6.Statements 7 and 10 are contradictory, you must choose one of them true and the other false. Similar logic exists in statements 8 and 9.
Therefore, you choose "false" at least 5 times and "true" at least 2 times. By trial and error you see that statements 5, 7 and 9 are true, and the others are false.
