Maths (commerce) Solve the Following Question.(2 Marks)

Since, p → q ≡ ~p ∨ q, the given statements can be written as:
(i) Price does not increase or demand falls.
(ii) Demand does not fall or price does not increase.

Let p : D is a dog. and q : D is very good.
Then the given statements in the symbolic form are:
(i) p → q
(ii) q → p
(iii) ~q → ~p
(iv) ~p → ~q

The entries in columns (i) and (iii) are identical. Hence, these statements are equivalent.
∴ the statements (i) and (iii) have the same meaning.
Similarly, the entries in columns (ii) and (iv) are identical. Hence, these statements are equivalent.
∴ the statements (ii) and (iv) have the same meaning.

The duals are given by:
(i) (~p ∨ q) ∧ (p ∨ ~q) ∧ (~p ∨ ~q)
(ii) (p ∨ q) ∨ r ≡ p ∨ (q ∨ r)
(iii) p ∧ (q ∨ r) ≡ (p ∧ q) ∨ (p ∧ r)
(iv) ~(p ∧ q) ≡ ~p ∧ ~q

Let p : I do not work hard.
q : I do not prosper.
Then the symbolic form of the given statement is p → q.
Converse: q → p is the converse of p → q
i.e. If I do not prosper, then I do not work hard.
Inverse: ~p → ~q is the inverse of p → q
i.e. If I work hard, then I prosper.
Contrapositive: ~q → ~p is the contrapositive of p → q
i.e. If I prosper, then I work hard.

Let p : A man is a bachelor.
q : He is happy.
Then the symbolic form of the given statement is p → q.
Converse: q → p is the converse of p → q
i.e. If a man is happy, then he is a bachelor.
Inverse: ~p → ~q is the inverse of p → q
i.e. If a man is not a bachelor, then he is not happy.
Contrapositive: ~q → ~p is the contrapositive of p → q
i.e., If a man is not happy, then he is not a bachelor.

Let p : 2 + 5 = 10.
q : 4 + 10 = 20.
Then the symbolic form of the given statement is p → q.
Converse: q → p is the converse of p → q
i.e. If 4 + 10 = 20, then 2 + 5 = 10.
Inverse: ~p → ~q is the inverse of p → q
i.e. If 2 + 5 ≠ 10, then 4 + 10 ≠ 20.
Cotrapositive: ~q → ~p is the contrapositive of p → q,
i.e. If 4 +10 ≠ 20, then 2 + 5 ≠ 10.

~p ∧ q ≡ (p ∨ q) ∧ ~p

The entries in columns 4 and 6 are identical.
∴ ~p ∧ q ≡ (p ∨ q) ∧ ~p

p ↔ q ≡ ~(p ∧ ~q) ∧ ~(q ∧ ~p)

The entries in columns 3 and 10 are identical.
∴ p ↔ q ≡ ~(p ∧ ~q) ∧ ~(q ∧ ~p)

p ∧ (~p ∨ q) ≡ p ∧ q

The entries in columns 5 and 6 are identical.
∴ p ∧ (~p ∨ q) ≡ p ∧ q

[~(p ∨ q) ∨ (p ∨ q)] ∧ r ≡ r

The entries in columns 3 and 7 are identical.
∴ [~(p ∨ q) ∨ (p ∨ q)] ∧ r ≡ r

p ∧ (q ∨ r) ≡ (p ∧ q) ∨ (p ∧ r)

The entries in columns 5 and 8 are identical.
∴ p ∧ (q ∨ r) ≡ (p ∧ q) ∨ (p ∧ r)

[p → (~q ∨ r)] ↔ ~[p → (q → r)]

All the entries in the last column of the above truth table are F.
∴ [p → (~q ∨ r)] ↔ ~[p → (q → r)] is a contradiction.

[~(p ∧ q) → p] ↔ [(~p) ∧ (~q)]

The entries in the last column of the above truth table are neither all T nor all F.
∴ [~(p ∧ q) → p] ↔ [(~p) ∧ (~q)] is a contingency.

[~(p ∨ q) → p] ↔ [(~p) ∧ (~q)]

All the entries in the last column of the above truth table are F.
∴ [~(p ∨ q) → p] ↔ [(~p) ∧ (~q)] is a contradiction.

[(~p ∧ q) ∧ (q ∧ r)] ∨ (~q)

The entries in the last column of the above truth table are neither all T nor all F.
∴ [(~p ∧ q) ∧ (q ∧ r)] ∨ (~q) is a contingency.

[(p ∧ q) ∨ (~p)] ∨ [p ∧ (~q)]

All the entries in the last column of the above truth table are T.
∴ [(p ∧ q) ∨ (~p)] ∨ [p ∧ (~q)] is a tautology.

Here are three statements and 4 connectives.
∴ there are 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 rows and 3 + 4 = 7 columns in the truth table.

Here are two statements and three connectives.
∴ there are 2 × 2 = 4 rows and 2 + 3 = 5 columns in the truth table.

1. p ↔ ~ q
He swims if and only if the water is not warm.
2. ~(p ∨ q)
It is not true that he swims or water is warm.
3. q → p
If water is warm, then he swims.
4. q ∧ ~p
The water is warm and he does not swim.

~[p ∨ (r ∧ s)] ∧ ~[(r ∧ ~s) ∧ q]
≡ ~[T ∨ (F ∧ F)] ∧ ~[(F ∧ ~F) ∧ T]
≡ ~[T ∨ F] ∧ ~[(F ∧ T) ∧ T]
≡ ~T ∧ ~(F ∧ T)
≡ F ∧ ~F
≡ F ∧ T
≡ F
Hence, the truth value of the given statement is false.

[(p ∨ s) → r] ∨ ~[~(p → q) ∨ s]
≡ [(T ∨ F) → F] ∨ ~[ ~(T → T) ∨ F]
≡ (T → F) ∨ ~(~T ∨ F)
≡ F ∨ ~ (F ∨ F)
≡ F ∨ ~F
≡ F ∨ T
≡ T
Hence, the truth value of the given statement is true.

(p → q) ↔ ~(p ∨ q) = (T → T) ↔ ~(T ∨ T)
≡ T ↔ ~ (T)
≡ T ↔ F
≡ F
Hence, the truth value of the given statement is false.

~[(~p ∨ s) ∧ (~q ∧ r)] ≡ ~[(~ T ∨ F) ∧ (~T ∧ F)]
≡ ~[(F ∨ F) ∧ (F ∧ F)]
≡ ~(F ∧ F)
≡ ~F
≡ T
Hence, the truth value of the given statement is true.

(p → q) ∨ (r ∧ s) ≡ (T → T) ∨ (F ∧ F)
≡ T ∨ F
≡ T
Hence, the truth value of the given statement is true.

Truth values of p and q are T and truth values of r and s are F.
p ∧ (q ∧ r) ≡ T ∧ (T ∧ F)
≡ T ∧ F
≡ F
Hence, the truth value of the given statement is false.
