Obviously the following statement is 'False':
"This sentence contains Seven words".

So we correct the sentence by changing it to:
This sentence does not contain Seven words".

We know that the First statement is False and so now can we conclude that the Second statement is True ?

Obviously the following statement is 'False':
"This sentence contains Seven words".
So we correct the sentence by changing it to:
This sentence does not contain Seven words".

the first sentence isnt necessarily false. "This sentence contains Seven words" well it does. "seven words" is in that sentence. that may be taking it too litteraly, but its true. Also, "This sentence does not contain seven words" is false. its a double negative. if, of course, u take it litteraly and say its refering to the words "seven words" and not the acctual amount of words in that sentence.

SO. therefore, the first sentence is TRUE and the second sentence is FALSE.
