Consider the two statements:
(S1):(p→q)∨(∼q→p)\left( {{S_1}} \right):\left( {p \to q} \right) \vee \left( { \sim q \to p} \right) is a tautology
(S2):(p∧∼q)∧(∼p∨q)\left( {{S_2}} \right):\left( {p \wedge \sim q} \right) \wedge \left( { \sim p \vee q} \right) is a fallacy
then,
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both (S1)\left( {{S_1}} \right) and (S2)\left( {{S_2}} \right) are true
Option C (Both (S1S_1) and (S2S_2) are true) is correct because S1S_1 simplifies to a tautology and S2S_2 simplifies to a fallacy.

Which of the following statement is a tautology?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
((∼q)∧p)∨(p∨(∼p))\left( {\left( { \sim q} \right) \wedge p} \right) \vee \left( {p \vee \left( { \sim p} \right)} \right)
The correct answer is C (((∼q)∧p)∨(p∨(∼p))\left( {\left( { \sim q} \right) \wedge p} \right) \vee \left( {p \vee \left( { \sim p} \right)} \right)) because it simplifies to a tautology (t) due to the presence of p∨(∼p)p \vee \left( { \sim p} \right).

Among the statements

(S1):(p⇒q)∨((∼p)∧q)(\mathrm{S} 1):(p \Rightarrow q) \vee((\sim p) \wedge q) is a tautology

(S2):(q⇒p)⇒((∼p)∧q)(\mathrm{S} 2):(q \Rightarrow p) \Rightarrow((\sim p) \wedge q) is a contradiction
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Neither (S1) and (S2) is True
Option A (Neither (S1) and (S2) is True) is correct because both statements are neither tautologies nor contradictions after simplification.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
p,q,rp,q,r are all true
Option B (p,q,rp,q,r are all true) is correct because for (p∧q)∧(q∧r)(p \wedge q) \wedge (q \wedge r) to be true, all three propositions must be true.

Consider the following two propositions:
P1:  ∼(p→∼q) P1:\,\, \sim (p \to \sim q)\,
P2:(p∧∼q)∧((∼p)∨q)P2:(p \wedge \sim q) \wedge (( \sim p) \vee q)
If the proposition p→((∼p)∨q)p \to (( \sim p) \vee q) is evaluated as FALSE, then:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both P1 and P2 are FALSE
Option C (Both P1 and P2 are FALSE) is correct because when p→(∼p∨q)p \to (\sim p \vee q) is FALSE, it implies pp is TRUE and qq is FALSE, making both P1 and P2 FALSE.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Statement-1 is true; Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
Option B is correct because Statement-1 is a fallacy, and Statement-2 is a tautology, but Statement-2 does not explain Statement-1.
