The Correct Option is A

Approach Solution - 1

$p \Rightarrow q \vee r$ is false when $p$ is true and $q \vee r$ is false, and $q \vee r$ is false when both $q$ and $r$ are false.
Hence truth values of $p, q, r$ are respectively T, F, F

Approach Solution -2

The correct option is A)

p→q is false only while both p and q are true.

 

∴ p→(qr) When p is true and (qvr) is false, then

 

When both q and r are false, qr is false.



 

Hence T,F,F

Concepts Used:

Statements

A statement is a sentence that is either true or false, but not both true and false simultaneously.

Types of Statements:

Simple Statement

  • If a statement cannot be further broken down into various statements, or in simpler words if it is concrete by itself, it is called a Simple Statement.
  • Examples include:
    • A kite is not a rhombus.
    • 15 is an odd number.

Compound Statement

  • If a statement can further be broken down into simpler statements so that from a main statement, we can yield more than one statement, then it is called a Compound Statement.
  • Consider the statement “10 is non-negative and a multiple of 5” which can be broken down into the statements: “10 is non-negative” and “10 is a multiple of 5”.

If-Then Statements

  • If we encounter an if-then statement i.e. ‘if a then b’, then by proving that a is true, b can be proved to be true or if we prove that b is false, then a is also false.
  • If we encounter a statement which says ‘a if and only if b’, then we can give reason for such a statement by showing that if a is true, then b is also true and if b is true, then a is also true.
  • Example:
    • a: 8 is multiple of 64
    • b: 8 is a factor of 64

Since one of the given statements i.e. a is true, therefore, a or b is true.
