"This method must return a result of type boolean"

Means your method should return the boolean value for every case. Currently it will return boolean if one of your if condition is true. What about if none of your if condition is true? In this case compiler will not be able to return anything to the caller of the method. So that compiler is telling you to add a return statement for method for every case no matter condition satisfy or not. You should add return false at the end of the method.
