Mathematics Question on mathematical reasoning
If the truth value of the statement
(P∧(∼R))->((∼R)∧Q)
is F , then the truth value of which of the following is F?
A
P∨Q->∼R
B
R∨Q->∼P
C
∼(P∨Q)->∼R
D
∼(R∨Q)->∼P
Answer
∼(R∨Q)->∼P
Explanation
Solution
The correct answer is(D): ∼(R∨Q)→∼P.
P∧(∼R)X→ ((∼R)∧Q)Y = False
x y
X → Y = False
X | Y | X→Y |
---|---|---|
F | F | T |
T | T | T |
F | T | T |
T | F | F |
P∧∼R = T and (∼R)∧Q = F
⇒ P = T
∼R = T ⇒ R = F
⇒ P = T, Q = F and R = F
T∧Q = F
⇒ Q = F
Now ∼(R∨Q)→∼P
∼(F∨F)→∼F
F→F = False
