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

Answer

$(1)\ P\ v\ Q$ $P$
$(2)\ R\rightarrow \sim P$ $P$
$(3)\ R\ \&\ S$ $P$
$(4)\ Q\rightarrow (R\ \&\ P)$ $P/\therefore P\ v\ R$
$(5)\ R$ $3,$ Simp.
$(6)\ \sim P$ $2, 5, MP$
$(7)\ Q$ $1, 6, DS$
$(8)\ R\ \&\ P$ $4, 7, MP$
$(9)\ P$ $8,$ Simp.
$(10)\ P\ v\ R$ $9,$ Add.
