Mathematical Logic And Boolean Algebra Question 23

Question: If p is true and q is false, then which of the following statements is not true?

Options:

A) $ p\vee q $

B) $ p\Rightarrow q $

C) $ p\wedge (\tilde{\ }q) $

D) $ p\Rightarrow p $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] When p is true and q is false, then $ p\vee q $ is true, $ q\Rightarrow p $ is true and $ p\wedge (\sim q) $ is true. ( $ \therefore $ both p and $ \sim q $ are true) Here, $ p\Rightarrow q $ is not true as a true statement cannot imply a false statement.
