Consider the following statements: P: Suman is brilliant Q: Suman is rich R: Suman is honest The negation of the statement, "Suman is brilliant and dishonest if and only if Suman is rich" can be equivalently expressed as
Options
- A~ Q ↔ ~ P ∨ R
- B~ Q ↔ P ∨ ~ R
- C~ Q ↔ P ∧ ~ R
- D~ Q ↔ ~ P ∧ R
Correct answer
C. ~ Q ↔ P ∧ ~ R
Step-by-step solution
P : Suman is brilliant ~   P : Suman is not brilliant Q = Suman is rich ~   Q : Suman is not rich R : Suman is honest ~   R : Suman is not honest Also, ~ p ⇔ q ≡ ~ p ⇔ q ≡ p ⇔ ~ q Hence   ~ ( P ∧ ∼ R ) ⟷ Q   i s   ∼ Q ⟷ P ∧ ∼ R
