Let F 1 A , B , C = A ∧ ~ B ∨ ~ C ∧ A ∨ B ∨ ~ A and F 2 A , B = A ∨ B ∨ B → ~ A be two logical expressions. Then :

Options

  1. AF 1 is a tautology but F 2 is not a tautology
  2. BF 1 is not a tautology but F 2 is a tautology
  3. CBoth F 1 and F 2 are not tautologies
  4. DF 1 and F 2 both are tautologies

Correct answer

B. F 1 is not a tautology but F 2 is a tautology

Step-by-step solution

F 1 : A ∧ ~ B ∨ ~ C ∧ A ∨ B ∨ ~ A F 2 : A ∨ B ∨ B → ~ A F 1 : A ∧ ~ B ∨ ~ A ∨ A ∨ B ∧ ~ C : A ∨ ~ A ∧ ~ A ∨ ~ B ∨ A ∨ B ∧ ~ C : t ∧ ~ A ∨ ~ B ∨ A ∨ B ∧ ~ C : ~ A ∨ ~ B ∨ A ∨ B ∧ ~ C : ~ A ∨ ~ B ∨ A ∨ B ⏟ t ∧ ~ A ∨ ~ B ∧ ~ C F 1 : ~ A ∨ ~ B ∧ ~ C ≠ t (tautology) F 2 : A ∨ B ∨ ~ B
