The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements given: **Statement I:** \((p \land \neg q) \land (\neg p \land q)\) is a fallacy. **Statement II:** \((p \to q) \iff (\neg q \to \neg p)\) is a tautology. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I We will create a truth table for the expression \((p \land \neg q) \land (\neg p \land q)\). 1. **List all possible truth values for \(p\) and \(q\):** - \(p = T, q = T\) - \(p = T, q = F\) - \(p = F, q = T\) - \(p = F, q = F\) 2. **Calculate \(\neg p\) and \(\neg q\):** - If \(p = T\), then \(\neg p = F\). - If \(p = F\), then \(\neg p = T\). - If \(q = T\), then \(\neg q = F\). - If \(q = F\), then \(\neg q = T\). 3. **Calculate \(p \land \neg q\) and \(\neg p \land q\):** - For \(p = T, q = T\): \(p \land \neg q = T \land F = F\) and \(\neg p \land q = F \land T = F\). - For \(p = T, q = F\): \(p \land \neg q = T \land T = T\) and \(\neg p \land q = F \land F = F\). - For \(p = F, q = T\): \(p \land \neg q = F \land F = F\) and \(\neg p \land q = T \land T = T\). - For \(p = F, q = F\): \(p \land \neg q = F \land T = F\) and \(\neg p \land q = T \land F = F\). 4. **Calculate the final expression \((p \land \neg q) \land (\neg p \land q)\):** - For \(p = T, q = T\): \(F \land F = F\). - For \(p = T, q = F\): \(T \land F = F\). - For \(p = F, q = T\): \(F \land T = F\). - For \(p = F, q = F\): \(F \land F = F\). The final column shows that the expression is always false. Therefore, Statement I is a fallacy. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II Now, we will create a truth table for the expression \((p \to q) \iff (\neg q \to \neg p)\). 1. **Calculate \(p \to q\) and \(\neg q \to \neg p\):** - \(p \to q\) is false only when \(p = T\) and \(q = F\). - \(\neg q \to \neg p\) is false only when \(\neg q = T\) (i.e., \(q = F\)) and \(\neg p = F\) (i.e., \(p = T\)). 2. **Construct the truth table:** - For \(p = T, q = T\): \(p \to q = T\) and \(\neg q \to \neg p = F\) → \(T \iff F = F\). - For \(p = T, q = F\): \(p \to q = F\) and \(\neg q \to \neg p = T\) → \(F \iff T = F\). - For \(p = F, q = T\): \(p \to q = T\) and \(\neg q \to \neg p = T\) → \(T \iff T = T\). - For \(p = F, q = F\): \(p \to q = T\) and \(\neg q \to \neg p = T\) → \(T \iff T = T\). The final column shows that the expression is true in all cases except when \(p = T\) and \(q = T\). Therefore, Statement II is a tautology. ### Conclusion - Statement I is a fallacy (always false). - Statement II is a tautology (always true). ### Final Answer - Statement I is true. - Statement II is true.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements given: **Statement I:** \((p \land \neg q) \land (\neg p \land q)\) is a fallacy. **Statement II:** \((p \to q) \iff (\neg q \to \neg p)\) is a tautology. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I ...
