If p, q, r are simple propositions with truth values T, F, T respectively, then which of the following is not a true statement?
Options
- A[q (p q)] p
- B(p q) (q p)
- C[( p q) r] p
- D(p q) ( q r)
Correct answer
C. [( p q) r] p
Step-by-step solution
Given p = T , q = F , r = T . Evaluating the first option: [q (p q)] p [F (T F)] T [F F] T F T T Evaluating the second option: (p q) (q p) (T F) (F F) F F T Evaluating the third option: [( p q) r] p [(F F) F] T [F F] T F T F Evaluating the fourth option: (p q) ( q r) (T F) (T T) F T T The statement in the third option is not true. Answer: [( p q) r] p
