Question

Mathematics Question on mathematical reasoning

Let p,q,rp, q, r be three logical statements. Consider the compound statements
S1:(( p)q)(( p)r)S_1 : ((~p) ∨q) ∨ ((~p) ∨r) and
S2:p(qr)S_2 :p→ (q∨r)
Then, which of the following is NOT true?

A

If S2S_2 is True, then S1S_1is True

B

If S2S_2 is False, then S1S_1 is False

C

If S2S_2 is False, then S1S_1 is True

D

If S1S_1 is False, then S2S_2 is False

Answer

If S2S_2 is False, then S1S_1 is True

Explanation

Solution

S1:( pq)( pr)S_1: (~p∨q) ∨ (~ p∨r)
S1( pqr)S_1≅ (~ p∨q∨r)
S2: p(qr)S_2: ~p ∨ (q∨r)
Both S1S_1 and S2S_2 are same

So, the correct option is (C): If S2S_2 is False, then S1S_1 is True.
