Let p be the statement “x is an irrational number”, q be the statement “y is a transcendental number”, and r be the statement “x is a rational number iff y is a transcendental number”.
Statement –1: r is equivalent to either q or p
Statement –2: r is equivalent to ∼ (p ↔ ∼ q).
Statement −1 is false, Statement −2 is true
Statement −1 is true, Statement −2 is true, Statement −2 is a correct explanation for Statement −1
Statement −1 is true, Statement −2 is true; Statement −2 is not a correct explanation for Statement −1.
Statement −1 is true, Statement −2 is true; Statement −2 is not a correct explanation for Statement −1.
D.
Statement −1 is true, Statement −2 is true; Statement −2 is not a correct explanation for Statement −1.
Given statement r = ∼ p ↔ q
Statement −1 : r1 = (p ∧ ∼ q) ∨ (∼ p ∧ q)
Statement −2 : r2 = ∼ (p ↔ ∼ q) = (p ∧ q) ∨ (∼ q ∧ ∼ p)
From the truth table of r, r1 and r2,
r = r1.
Hence Statement − 1 is true and Statement −2 is false.
