Question
Prove that the following arguments are standard by constructing metaphorical proof
$P \rightarrow Q$
$\sim Q\ v\ R$
$\sim R$
$\therefore (\sim P \&  \sim R)\ v\ S$

Answer

$(1)\ P \rightarrow Q$ $P$
$(2)\ \sim Q\ v\ R$ $P$
$(3)\ \sim R$ $P/ \therefore (\sim P\ \&\ \sim R)\ v\ S$
$(4)\ \sim Q$ $2, 3, DS$
$(5)\ \sim p$ $1, 4, MT$
$(6)\ \sim P\ \&\ \sim R$ $5, 3,$ Conj.
$(7)\ (\sim P\ \&\ \sim R)\ v\ S$ $6 $ Add.
