If p and q are logical statements, then p ⇒ ~ q ⇒ p is equivalent to
Options
- Ap ⇒ p ⇒ q
- Bp ⇒ p ∨ q
- Cp ⇒ p ∧ q
- Dp ⇒ p ⇔ q
Correct answer
B. p ⇒ p ∨ q
Step-by-step solution
p ⇒ ~ q ⇒ p ≡ ∼ p ∨ q ∨ p ≡ ∼ p ∨ p ∨ q ≡ t ∨ q ≡ t Hence, the given statement p ⇒ ~ q ⇒ p is a tautology Now, p ⇒ p ⇒ q is false when p is true and q is false Hence, not a tautology p ⇒ q ∨ p ≡ ~ p ∨ p ∨ q ≡ ~ p ∨ p ∨ q t ∨ q ≡ t Hence, p ⇒ q ∨ p is a tautology. Now, p ⇒ p ∧ q is false when p is true and q is false Hence, not a tau
