Mathematics Question on mathematical reasoning
Consider the following statements:
P : I have fever
Q: I will not take medicine
R : I will take rest
The statement "If I have fever, then I will take medicine and I will take rest" is equivalent to:
A
(P∨Q)∧((∼P)∨R)
B
(P∨∼Q)∧(P∨∼R)
C
((∼P)∨∼Q)∧((∼P)∨∼R)
D
((∼P)∨∼Q)∧((∼P)∨R)
Answer
((∼P)∨∼Q)∧((∼P)∨R)
Explanation
Solution
P→(∼Q∧R)
∼P∨(−Q∧R)
(−P∨∼Q)∧(−P∨R)
So, the correct answer is (D) : ((∼P)∨∼Q)∨((∼P)∨R)
