The correct Answer is:
To solve the logical statement `(p ∧ ¬q) ∨ (q → r)` where `p` is true, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the values of p, q, and r We know that: - `p` is true. - We will consider two cases for `q`: when `q` is true and when `q` is false. - The value of `r` is not specified, so we will analyze how it affects the overall expression. ### Step 2: Rewrite the implication The implication `q → r` can be rewritten using logical equivalence: - `q → r` is equivalent to `¬q ∨ r`. Thus, our expression becomes: `(p ∧ ¬q) ∨ (¬q ∨ r)` ### Step 3: Analyze case 1: When q is true If `q` is true: - `¬q` (negation of q) is false. - The expression simplifies to: - `(true ∧ false) ∨ (false ∨ r)` - This further simplifies to: - `false ∨ (false ∨ r)`, which is `false ∨ r`. Since `r` can be either true or false, the overall expression will depend on `r`. Therefore, if `q` is true, the expression can be either true or false. ### Step 4: Analyze case 2: When q is false If `q` is false: - `¬q` is true. - The expression simplifies to: - `(true ∧ true) ∨ (true ∨ r)` - This further simplifies to: - `true ∨ (true ∨ r)`, which is `true`. In this case, regardless of the value of `r`, the overall expression is true. ### Conclusion - When `q` is true, the truth value of the expression depends on `r`. - When `q` is false, the truth value of the expression is true. Thus, the truth value of the statement `(p ∧ ¬q) ∨ (q → r)` is true if `q` is false. ### Final Answer The correct option is **C: true if Q is false**. ---
