Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Option 4) [T, T].
Key Points
- We are given two sets of values for (p, q, r):
- Case 1: (T, F, T)
- Case 2: (F, T, T)
- The expression is:
p ∨ (¬q → (p ∧ r))
- We'll evaluate it step-by-step for both cases.
Case 1: p = T, q = F, r = T
- ¬q = T (since q is F)
- p ∧ r = T ∧ T = T
- ¬q → (p ∧ r) = T → T = T
- p ∨ T = T ∨ T = T
Case 2: p = F, q = T, r = T
- ¬q = F
- p ∧ r = F ∧ T = F
- ¬q → (p ∧ r) = F → F = T (implication is true when antecedent is false)
- p ∨ T = F ∨ T = T
Final result: [T, T]
Additional Information
- ¬q means logical NOT of q.
- → (implication) is only false when LHS is true and RHS is false.
- ∨ (OR) is true if at least one operand is true.
- ∧ (AND) is true only if both operands are true.
