The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given statements is true, we need to analyze each statement using truth tables. We will consider the variables \( p \) and \( q \) and their negations. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Variables and Their Negations**: - Let \( p \) and \( q \) be the variables. - The negations are \( \neg p \) and \( \neg q \). 2. **Construct the Truth Table**: - Since there are two variables, the total number of combinations is \( 2^2 = 4 \). - The truth table will have the following columns: \( p \), \( q \), \( \neg p \), \( \neg q \). \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline p & q & \neg p & \neg q \\ \hline T & T & F & F \\ T & F & F & T \\ F & T & T & F \\ F & F & T & T \\ \hline \end{array} \] 3. **Evaluate Each Statement**: - **Statement 1**: \( p \iff \neg q \) - This is true when both values are equal. - Evaluating: - \( T \iff F \) → F - \( T \iff T \) → T - \( F \iff F \) → T - \( F \iff T \) → F - Result: \( F, T, T, F \) → Not a tautology (not all true). - **Negation of Statement 1**: \( \neg (p \iff \neg q) \) - This is the opposite of the previous results: - \( T, F, F, T \) → Not a fallacy (not all false). - **Statement 2**: \( p \iff q \) - Evaluating: - \( T \iff T \) → T - \( T \iff F \) → F - \( F \iff T \) → F - \( F \iff F \) → T - Result: \( T, F, F, T \) → Not a tautology (not all true). - **Statement 3**: \( p \land \neg q \) - This is true when both are true: - \( T \land F \) → F - \( T \land T \) → T - \( F \land F \) → F - \( F \land T \) → F - Result: \( F, T, F, F \) → Not a fallacy (not all false). - **Statement 4**: \( \neg p \land q \) - Evaluating: - \( F \land T \) → F - \( F \land F \) → F - \( T \land T \) → T - \( T \land F \) → F - Result: \( F, F, T, F \) → Not a tautology (not all true). 4. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating all statements, we find that Statement 2 \( (p \iff q) \) is the only one that is true in some cases but not a tautology or a fallacy. ### Final Answer: The true statement among the options is **Statement 2: \( p \iff q \)**.
