The statement (p ∧ (~ q) ) ⇒ (p ⇒ (~ q)) is
The statement \left(p ∧ \left(~ q\right)\right) ⇒ \left(p ⇒ \left(~ q\right)\right) is
Options
- Aequivalent to $\left(~ p\right) ∨ \left(~ q\right)
- Ba tautology
- Cequivalent to
- Da contradiction
Correct answer
B. a tautology
Step-by-step solution
Using logical equivalence condition , given statement can be expressed as,
\left(p ∧ ~ q\right) \to \left(p \to ~ q\right)
≡ \left(~ \left(p ∧ ~ q\right)\right) ∨ \left(~ p ∨ ~ q\right)
We know De Morgan's law of logical equivalence is,
≡ ~ p ∨ ~ q≡ \left(~ p ∨ q\right)\left[∵ ~ \left(~ p\right)≡ p\right]
∨ \left(q ∨ ~ q\right)≡ ~ p ∨ t ≡ t (tautology)
