Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
A positively charged glass rod is touched with the disc of an uncharged electroscope then leaves will diverge. A glass rod that is positively charged when touched with the disc of an uncharged electroscope will then diverge because both the leaves will have a positive charge because of conduction and thus will diverge as charges repel each other.
